Reflections on DOAT

I just finished Dragons of Autumn Twilight.  It took me less than a month to read it.  Back in the day, this would have taken me a couple of days.  But now I might read only on my breaks at work and that is what I did with this book.  I sometimes want to strangle people.  I sit down to read my book while eating my lunch or snacks.  People should realize that I want to do my own thing on my breaks and not have to listen to the gossip.  Get the hint!  If I am not responding, I am reading my book!  Go sit somewhere else!

Okay, now that I got that off my chest, I want to discuss another hidden Christian message, if tha is what the authors intended.  This story takes place 300 years after a catyclism, some event that destroyed the world and allowed evil to take over.  In the Bible, humanity is going to go through seven years of tribulation.  Midway through this time period, the anti-christ gets killed.  However, he comes to life being indwelled by the devil.  The second half of this tribulations is going to be worse tha the first half.

With the first book in the dragonlance story, since 300 years have passed when men felt that the gods had turned against them, could it be possible that this series is going to reflect the Biblical tribulation.  There is the Queen of darkness and Paldine the King of Light-who is disguised as an old fuddled wizard.  The main leader of the quess of darkness in Verminnard.  He is similar to the anti-christ because he tells people lies and they fall for them and some even believe in him even after the dragons destroy their homes.  The same is going to happen during the Biblical tribulation.  many people are going to fall for the enemy's lies and he will turn many from God.

Reading Book Series

Whenever I read a series, I try to read all of the books within a certain time frame.  That way when I get to the last book in the series, I will sort of remember what went on in the first books. One series I finished two years ago was The Left Behind Series by Tim LeHaye and Jerry Jenkins.  There are something like 16 books in that series and I started reading them as they came out-the first book was published in 1995.  I had read all but the last four books in the series and ran into a bit of a financial slump and was several years before I was able to buy them.  However, since some time had passed, I decided to read the books from the beginning.  Some may think it is a waste of time re-reading a book.  But I had no qualms about it and found them just as enjoyable. I also did the same with the Harry Potter Series.  When I got The Deathly Hallows, I decided to read the other books again.  It took me about a year, since I usually have two to three books going on at the same time.

Its has been a while.

And guess what?  I am going to have to reread that last Dragonlance book.  I did read other books.  When I was halfway through again-go figure-a coworker lent me a couple of her books from a series.  I will write about it next weekend. Plus I am also planning to read every Star Wars book.  I think there are around 250 books.

Rereading Dragons of Spring Dawning

I started this back in the Middle of August and then got distracted and never finished the book.  I did get about halfway done and just decided to start from the beginning. I sometimes let distractions rule my life and it is probably best if I started because I forgot mostly of what I read.
