Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you could see me now - Cecelia Ahern Www@QuestionHome@Com Its one thing to have "a" favorite novel, but seriously I can't have an allegiance to just one!. Even though I do read & re-read my favorite books often enough!. I'm particularly fond of series or sagas!. Though not many authors are as talented to produce trilogies!. For example Steven King only writes singular books, hes done oodles of best sellers, but no sagas!. I rather enjoy the epics of the Forgotten Realms series ( by various contributing authors, among them the illustrious Ed Greenwood ), Then there are the epics that Michael Stackpole has written (he's talented in the respect that he writes in several genres & is extraordinarily flexible)!. I have a few novels that have fallen apart over the years from reading over & over!. Its not easy to find someone to re-bind a book that has lost its physical structural integrity, though I still keep the original copies!. I've since resorted to scanning each page into my pc for want of saving them for future reference!. My only regret is that to read those books I've saved on my pc - is that I will have to expend electricity to read them!. cheers babe!Www@QuestionHome@Com Hi!

These are held back by a Circle of energy, known as the "air clog," powered from the Earth's internal energy!. For millennia, vast living shapes - the Watchers - have waited in the darkness near the pyramid: it is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies!.
