Well, we all go through times like this... Popping of the craze bubble, realizing that you really are still a fan. I had a similar withdrawl attack when i was young. When i was about seven or eight, my favorite author was Scott O'Dell. I swear that i hounded my school librarian when she was ordering books if a O'Dell came in. Soon i had read all of his books, some of them at least twice. When summer vacation came, i still was on the hunt. After awhile, i found myself not that interested in him. Yes, he was sort of historical/fiction type of author and yes, i loved that type of fiction but, something felt different. But, by the time school started up again, i remet my passion for his litiature. I still am a big fan of his works. He still is among my favorties, right next to Ursula K. Le Guin and Tolkien.
Hope this has helped the thread. i have an unfortunate jinx streak here at the forum where i tend to "kill" threads.
