I used to buy new books based on the cover and reading the first and
last 10 pages or so. If it was enough to catch my interest, I'd buy
it. That's happened with Magician:Apprentice back in a B. Dalton's
Bookseller in a nearby shopping center. I'm not 100% certain of the
date, but it had to be before 1987, since I had to wait for the
paperback version of A Darkness at Sethanon.
I joined the mailing list either Fall 95 (my recollection) or Fall 96
(the earliest emails I can find in my archives).
And finally, I'm still waiting on the first Riftwar Saga for the
Kindle. I've got two of the books in the entire Midkemia series, but
hoping to eventually get the rest at some point...

was wondering how everyone found Magician when you read it the first
time.
I went to Marist High School in Chicago and my freshman literature
teacher, Mrs. Littleton had us read both, Apprentice and Master, for
class... I have been in love with the story ever since. It is now 17
years later and it is the only series of books (really the only books)
that I read... I always read the newest book in 1-2 days (which causes
some rough mornings the next day).
