I've been reading The Tombs of Atuan for the past few days. This morning I read the chapter in which Arha sees Ged for the first time. It ends with her watching through a spyhole as he falls asleep on the floor of the labyrinth. I was reading while I was eating breakfast, and when I got to that part I was just suddenly suffused with emotion. That feeling is why I come back to these books again and again. And the great thing is that I never know where it's going to come from. The Tombs of Atuan is usually the one in the series that has the least affect on me, and then something like this happens.

I just love Ged so much, and this is the book when we get to see him young, powerful, at his peak.
