Out of Sequence Reading

[Jim Flanagan]

No: HPFGUIDX 9751

I was introduced to HP by listening to Jim Dale's tapes of book 3, 
POA, while I was refinishing some furniture.  My wife *made* me 
listen to them -- I wasn't interested in reading a "kid's" book, 
especially because it was being so over-hyped at that time. The 
furniture was finished before the tapes ran out, but it was too late -
- I was hooked.

Listening to the book 3 tapes didn't spoil books 1 and 2 for me 
because Jim Dale's reading was so entrancing that the actual details 
didn't seem to matter.  I think it would have been different if I had 
actually *read* POA first.
