Circles and points

I am currently reading (and I may have mentioned this before...please excuse any repetition) the intended first book in a trilogy, second and I have already read the second book and currently have no intention of reading the third book.

In this way, I am experiencing greater intrigue that I feel that I would have felt had I read the books in the intended order.  I read and absorb and then find that I have forgotten.  As a result the names, words and actions of the people and places in the first book (which runs on a chronological parallel with the second book) are striking a chord but I cannot put my finger on the exact links being made between the notes of the chord.

Following a comment that I feared I was reading 'like a literature student' (a habit formed over years as a student of French and Spanish literature) I have been advised by AD to read, enjoy and then to reread and compare if I so wish.  Good advice.  I am taking it - although I remain frustrated by my lack of ability to recall clear facts from my previous reading...

This leads me to be thinking about the idea of circles and points and to wondering if I can create visual work with an intended / unintended order and overlap.

Food for thought.  I am off to make notes...in the manner of 'an art student'!
