Drizzt Do'Urden was my first 'hero' love.

My mom introduced him to me, as she's the one who introduced the Forgotten Realms books to me. I enjoyed the others, but when I came to a book with Drizzt in it, I ws fascinated. He was so complex! As I read more about him, he only got more complicated and more interesting. He may be part of the reason that I adore heros so because Drizzt is my first, best example of a hero.
( and I gush )

I found three of our Dune books. All of them have been woefully mistreated, it's such a sad thing. Of course, all of mom's books in general look that way. She's hard on books. Well, she says it shows that they're loved.

At this point, I have to restrain myself from screaming, "You have a degree in Library Sciences! How can you think that way?"

So I'm reattaching the Dune Messiah cover. It's a copy from the first full printing.
