![]() This really messes up Reading a book again. You see after prompted by the first few lines I actually "SEE" the text exactly as I read it. But I can read the first few lines of a book and then close the book and continue resiting the book word for word without errors. I don't just remember the whole book, not QUITE. Barely beating out Ann McCaffrey (sorry but it's true) and Dean Koontz. ![]() And Piers Anthony is the best author who's books I have ever read. I believe the Author truly deserves his money! So I have started updating all my collection with Hardback Copies, that I gladly pay for. Then I found several more he had written. I listen to, or read, his books over and over. ![]()

Sambre - Tome 02: Je sais que tu viendras - Ebook written by Yslaire, Balac. Yslaire took over the scriptwriting from Yann while working on the second episode in 1987. This critically acclaimed and darkly romantic saga about the impossible love between Bernard Sambre and a young farmer girl during the French Revolution was drawn in a far more realistic style than Hislaire's previous work and contained several literary references. He assumed the pseudonym Yslaire and began 'Sambre' with scriptwriter Balac (a pseudonym of Yann) in publisher Glénat's Circus magazine. Hislaire himself had radically changed his drawing style in 1986. The series continued to appear in Spirou until 1986, when Bidouille and Violette's young love ended tragically in a car accident. ![]() It called in a new wave of more personal comic stories, which was also represented in Spirou by Geerts' 'Jojo' and Wasterlain's 'Docteur Poche'. ![]() Hislaire's series about the love between two adolescents was unique for its time, especially in magazines like Spirou.
