**bangs head against wall**
How could I forget Shadows & Strongholds - a very big favorite of mine. I loved the way we read about the two as they grew up.

I'd hate to be the walls in Misfit's house! They get heads banged against them, books thrown at them, and lord knows what else! Poor walls! LOL

Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,

You guys are so bad. Although that's kind of how it looked whilst reading Pillars.....

Throwing a book that thick would certainly put a hole in a wall!

I think I would have to say "Lords of the White Castle" is my favorite EC book so far. This being said it was my first so that could be the reason.
Something about Fulke tyring to straddle family duty and honor with keeping in good graces with his king I found quite intriguing. Fulke was such a great character I thought, courageous but just and wouldn't take any flak from anyone. I also loved the settings in it.
I havent read them all yet so my favorite could change.
