I think knowing the story in advance helps you to read on a deeper level, not worrying too much about how it will all end up but rather on the writing itself. <br /><br />I've often thought about buying Dennis Lehane's books to read all over again.

I'm thinking your question was rhetorical, but my thoughts are that if you can afford it - get them. Life is too short, so if having those 9 books on your shelf is going to bring you happiness . . . that's not a high price to pay. :) (There's always the possibility of prompting others for gift-giving occasions or purchasing used.) The Beekeeper's Apprentice has been silently waiting on my TBR Shelf, but is making a little more noise now - thanks to you. :)Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-88494808528180202552009-06-17T11:44:10.885-06:002009-06-17T11:44:10.885-06:00I just bought the first book in this series, and I...I just bought the first book in this series, and I am really excited to find the time to get to it.
