LOTR Was Said to be Unfilmable...
LOTR was said to be unfilmable, and while the movies aren't quite the same as the book, they do stay pretty faithful. Covenant could be looked at in the same way: 1- Cov's a wretch all through the whole first trilogy and really doesn't grow. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that the qualities built ...

I always took it to mean Lord Foul's Message, his Bane is his power over the Lords in that even if they complete the mission, he still will win. Let me throw this out there, seriously, What if the titles were changed: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant 1- The Unbeliever's Bane 2- The High Lord's Bane...

What I liked about having Manethrall Rue mention the Giant-Raver was that it helped create a great sense of dread and anticipation about the looming war. Dread that a Giant could be possessed by a Raver; and anticipation over how the Lords and Troy would deal with such a being armed with the power ...

New Again.
Hello all. I've been absent from the sight for about a year and a half. Was only active for a couple months 2 years ago. Whenever I get back into the books, I always get charged emotionally and intellectually and look for others with like "charge". :) I absolutely love the books, though I ...

Raving Giant.
I know one of the unwritten rules here is that you don't question SRD's choices in his writings, but this is probably my most emotional disappointment and I'm just wondering if anyone else had felt the same way: I was devastated when we learned from Manthrall Rue that a Giant was Raving in IW. I was...

What's a Bane?
I was just thinking about the title: Lord Foul's Bane.
If I've never read the book, and I'm not a fan of fantasy or good with words...I really wouldn't know what a bane was.
So, what really is a Bane?
I see SRD meaning it as: power, evil warning, or dire weight on shoulders...

Susie Thurston and Her Husband
Can anyone clear up the meaning of the bar scene in the beginning of IW as far as Susie Thurston and her husband are concerned:
The Sign hilighted (contrasting Beware from LFB),
Her song,
Her husband,
I'm confused.
Help!?

Really? I wouldn't expect fanbots to lambast someone that tells the truth about their beloved series. :p Despite the truth, I love the Chrons. Take Mhoram, why is he so loved? Because of the decisions he makes and his stand. But also, he's an archetype, like Gandalf and Obi-wan, so the reader can au...
