I spent my teenage years in and out of (some very rough) Children's home
and half a dozen different foster parents... Magician was donated to the
"library" (I use the term loosely ~ more acouple of book trolleys and
shelves) at one of the children's homes I was in and I used Magician and
later Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon to escape from the darker
parts of my childhood. My childhood would have been a whole lot less
enjoyable and much harder without my trips to Midkemia... thanks to Raymond.
I reread all the books, in proper order about every eighteen months to
two years now. Within the next two years I will be buying a canal boat
and doing some travelling and my Feist collection will be one of the
limited "dead tree" books I will be taking with me. (Most of the rest
will be on my Kindle).

I've been a member of the list for a while, but I haven't posted... I 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).
I got it in my copy from SFBC when I was in High School. I got it my Senior
year and it was the combined edition. I had to wait for the others to be
written. But it was well worth the wait.
