It was 1994, I was 14 and a freshman and had always been an avid reader and spent tons of time haunting the stacks at the library looking for my next perfect book to read. I had recently moved in with my Dad, also a big reader, and he took me to a book store at our local mall and it was such a treat... the concept of being able to Keep one. I was overwhelmed with the concept and all three choices, but gravitated to the fantasy section and remember that there was a card sticking out from this deep blue book, a recommendation from one of the employees. I can't remember the key words, but it hooked me, and then the book did. It was an expensive choice on my dad's part, taking me in there that day, because there was no borrowing these books from the library... I had to own them all, as soon as they came out, until the last.
