I have become a serial book destroyer since joining this forum so suddenly find myself nodding to your comments, fool-ish, instead of gasping (as I would have done only twelve months ago)! EDIT: Actually, this treatment only extends to my RotE books, now that I think on it. And I excuse it in the name of "research", to my husband and children. END EDIT I really do need to put a photo of my copy of AQ on here...
Funny though....when I was at SupaNova and found myself having to choose between my battered copy of AA and a nice, new hardback copy for our Tangle Leader to make her mark on, I had to hand her the old one. I just had to. It now bears "To Farseer, Here the tale begins! Robin Hobb" on its less-than-pretty title page and I love it all the more.
Yes, nothing like reading a book in a bath...if that's a sin, I confess I gave in to that one in my teens and wallow almost nightly in it still!
Hooray for dredging up old threads!
