New Thomas Covenant Podcast

Hi folks, I just launched a podcast with a friend of mine to discuss Lord Foul's Bane in detail. I've read all the books multiple times and my cohost has never read any of them. It's called The Unbelievers: A Thomas Covenant Podcast, and it's available on all podcast platforms and on YouTube. I anti...

Funnily enough, we were talking somewhere (the Discord maybe?) about the upcoming WoT Amazon series, and I mentioned how book 1 was the most generic fantasy book of the series. Now, I (first) read it back in the 90's so there was less for it to be derivative of perhaps. I generally enjoy the series...

Since I visited this thread last I actually did read War and Peace and loved it. I read that in my final year of my Russian degree at St Andrews Uni and wrote a dissertation comparing the novel with the 1966/67 movie adaptation by Sergei Bondarchuk. It was a helluva lot of work at the time, but it'...

Never read any of his books apart from the WoT ones he finished. (Which I was not disappointed by.) Any good? Interesting question. I had Wheel of Time AND pretty much anything by Sanderson recommended to me this year. I ummed and ahhed about what to read, eventually settling on the first Wheel of ...

I finished The Last Dark last week for the first time and went back to Lord Foul's Bane on audiobook and Runes of the Earth on Kindle. Scott Brick's reading of Lord Foul's Bane is outstanding. I've set it to 1x speed, which I don't normally do, so I can savour the language and the story. It's deligh...

The very first time I read the Chronicles, I found them very uplifting, and I would even go so far as to say that they helped me. At the time, I considered it a story about perseverance. Now I think I recognize that it's a story that communicates epic vision - that a man can be an effective passion...

Hello everyone. I just finished the first and second chronicles for the third time and found you by Googling 'why do the Elohim want Vain to fail', whereupon I found a fantastic discussion here about that very thing. I'm about to read the last chronicles for the first time. I'm not sure why I waited...
