It's been a while, so it's almost like reading them for the first time, since I've been noticing all these new details in them. I hadn't realized just how much those books had influenced me, but now I can see echos of that world in my own writing.
It seems to be such an obscure trilogy though, which makes me really sad; used bookstores almost never have them, and even Powells only had the first two, and I've never met anyone else who's even heard of them until I tell them about it.

I love this series too. And I actually found it the same way though in high school. Everyday after school I had to go to the library and wait a few hours before anyone could pick me up. I was working my way through the "Young Adult" section and one day I came apon the Darkangel Trilogy. The version they had happened to be an out of print version that had all three books in one.
And I fell in love with it. It is sad that it is a harder series to find.

Speaking of quick reads, I read The Hunger Games last night (as in.... I picked it up and 4 hours later I realized it was over lol). Excellent book. I will be looking for the 2nd next time I am at the store.
And now I will sit and be ashamed that I have not read any of the books that have been featured on page 1 of the thread.

I'm a fan of Tamora Pierce's books too. I started reading them when I was in 5th grade (got a few free at book faires) and then started buying them. And even though I am now 21 years old I still buy each new one that comes out because I want to have all of her books. They are still great for a real quick read.
I was told The Hunger Games are really good books. I should read them.
