Very important and favorite books too!
The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings trilogy (how'd I manage to forget that?!)
a favorite quote:
- All that is gold does not glitter,
- Not all those who wander are lost;
- The old that is strong does not wither,
- Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
- From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
- A light from the shadows shall spring;
- Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
- The crownless again shall be king
C.S Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia
Lloyd Alexander's Black Cauldron series: The Chronicles of Prydain
many books by Cornelia Funke especially the Inkheart trilogy
Jonathan Stroud Bartimaeus Trilogy
I'm sure there are yet more that I am forgetting, but I wanted to add these while I was thinking of them! And as a final thought, I will leave you with the "Curse Upon Books Thieves" that I like to put this as a bookmark in books that I loan out LOL (like the 3 Ted Dekker books that are still missing from my collection, borrowed 3+ years now...working on getting them back because I want to read them again)
For him that Stealeth, or borroweth and retuneth not
this book from its owner
Let it change into a Serpent in his hand & rend him.
Let him be struck with Palsy, & all his Members blasted.
Let him languish in Pain crying aloud for Mercy,
Let there be no Surcease to his Agony till he sink to Dissolution.
Let Bookworms gnaw his Entrails in token of the Worm that dieth not,
When at last he goeth to his final Punishment,
Let the flames of hell consume him for ever
Let it change into a Serpent in his hand & rend him.
Let him be struck with Palsy, & all his Members blasted.
Let him languish in Pain crying aloud for Mercy,
Let there be no Surcease to his Agony till he sink to Dissolution.
Let Bookworms gnaw his Entrails in token of the Worm that dieth not,
When at last he goeth to his final Punishment,
Let the flames of hell consume him for ever
