Message-ID: Heyla! This is my first post, but I couldn't pass it up: My favorite line out of any of the books is in Winds of Fury; moment was when Darkwind got buried toward the end, and Elspeth was yelling stuff to get him to respond--this is without my book with me, mind you, but she said, "How many Taleydras does it take for a mating circle? One, but he has to be flexible!" I know that's wrong, but that's the gist of the qoute. Zhai'helleva!

I should be screamingly bored within the first afternoon." (That's in my quotes collection, which is why I have the exact wording.) -The eternal ending lines of Magic's_Promise. -Kero's "Why does everything in my life have to come back to haunt me and ~talk in my head~?!" (That's fudged; if anyone has the precise wording I'd be glad to be corrected.) Those are the ones that come to mind at the moment; I'm sure there are others. It's always fun to suddenly start laughing and have everyone turn to stare at you as if you've turned green or something.
