on the publishiing of the first chronicles.. they were published or released 76 78 79, the second ones hit in 81 I think. on time is pretty stright. what has happen before leads up to the here and now. in his books we accept that thru his narritive. I was kind of looking into how the events not disc...

no,not much, is true. But, the bottom line is he took time to read that insanely long post, thought it well put together and comment on it. The kindness he extended to me in that was wonderful. As I have read his books, since I got the first three from book of the month club, back in the early 70's,...

not the same book, yes, as he is linear(spelling) in plot. as he said. he does not do the time loop. some see his story from a different place, which is kind of cool, as that means the auther allows the reader to form their opionion(spelling) of the story. ah.. the reader is allowed to interpert the...

i have a reply to this general question on gradual review in apr. listing. is a spoiler note listing. woot. how nice of mr. donaldson answering.

hello all, I am really pleased that I got an answer to a long question I asked Mr. donaldson on Gradual interview. You will find it in apr listings with a spoiler warning. I had made a thread a while back on the topic. Though his answer is closed ended, to mine, I think there is a chance that he mig...

The following historical record was made at the time of the end of all things: TC: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid collision. WATWE: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision. TC: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees ...

TC says to Lindin, "you got to do something! The stars are going out!"

Linden replies, "Damm it Thomas, I'm a Doctor, Not the Lighting Tech!"

TC replies, "Damm union workers!"

I have reviewed my presentation on the topic of the Paradox of Time(Travel) and the action it has on Free Will. I will am going to attempt to approach it from a different direction. I hope you will find it of interest and also of interest to talk about. I will begin my sermon tonight with a reading ...

all these do not remembers are said in nice way, not a mean way of shouting like at others, words do not give tone. I do not remember time after time looks like I am being nasty and mean.) This line was me saying that repeating myself was me not being an a----le. Just it was dramatic effect. That wo...

A thought has occured to me. TC in his role as the TW was there at the time the Creator made the earth. The Creator must of been aware of that. He was the maker of the earth, how could he not. Would this then force by the Creator to set up the event of TC summoning to the land so in time TC would in...

In all of this we still have not found an answer to the question of how it came that TC was the one chosen by the "Creator," the become either the destroyer of the land, or the savior of the land, by the pocession of white gold, and its use, one way or the other. I still support that his a...

Thank you all so much for the kind disscussion of the idea put forth by myself and others on this thread. I would like to address a topic that has now been brought up: the subject of white gold. I can not remember, other then the poem about the danger of white gold told for the first time if I remem...

Thank you for your kind remarks. The paradox of time travel is just that: a paradox. As with Pandora, once the box is opened, you can not lock in again what has escaped. I would like again to return to the first chapter of vol 3 first paragraph. Thomas Covenant knelt on the rich grass of Andelain as...

thank you so much for you kind reply. [quotAs Timewarden, TC was able to flow through time and do whatever it is he can do as a result. However, this would also restrict him, since we was a being of Time, he could not exist outside of Time (or in Space) like TC human could. As an example, it's like ...

I will base my thesis upon the first chapter in Against All Things Endings. I will further narrow this down to the first paragraph in that chapter: The Burden of Too Much Time. For clarity I will quote the entire first paragraph. Thomas Covenant knelt on the rich grass of Andelain as though he had f...
