I started reading this series because I had the books. The Thief and The King of Attolia were both on sale at my local McNally Robinson (bookstore) and looked good, so I bought them. They literally sat on my shelf for nearly a year before I started reading them. I started two weeks ago and I've read each book three times.

It's taken over my life. I go to sleep at 3 am because I can't stop reading. I watch the news and I expect them to start talking about Eugenides. So I did what I usually do when I'm insanely obsessed.

I made an LJ icon!

EDIT: After I saw [livejournal.com profile] thelasteddis's icon, I went and made another... I'm weak. But I could figure out which format I liked better, so it turned into three more. I'm very weak.

(Fixed the misspelling, too!)

Oh, poor you. I thought I had it bad, reading QoA first, then TT, then KoA.

Glad so see another obsessor - you've come to the right place!

I went from Thief straight to King. I was impatient and had to special order the books and Queen took forever to come in. XD;

Ahaha, that happened to me too. But instead of reading KoA first I locked it in a pantry.

Wait, I can't see the type on these icons, bad sight, I has it. But it looks like 'era' to me - the quote is 'ere'. If it says that, sorry 'bout that. Just making sure!

Does anyone else LOVE how this quote gives us a meaning for Sophos' name? Wisdom. It totally fits!

Gahh! TLE spots it again. Well, I'm using it anyway.
Yes, that's so cool! It gives me hope for Sophos' reappearance, because we've yet to see much (or any really) of that side of him.

Did other people get the 'ambi' in Ambiades by the way? Ambi = 'from both sides' in Latin, thus ambidetrous, etc.

BTW: I am computer-illiterate. I would love to use 2 of these photos of this guy as icons, but I don't know how to let him know and post a link. The photos are in his gallery and are numbers 4 and 8 (he's holding a SWORD in 8, for crying out loud! it has to be used!) I will work on this in the meantime, but if anyone can help, I would soooo appreciate it!
