Wow! Thanks Menolly - That was a bit of an eye-opener. I think I might just stick to the reading of SRD's books and leave the literary criticism to those better suited to it than me! ;)

Has anybody read.....

Has anybody read Christine Barkley's book 'Stephen R Donaldson and the Modern Epic Vision', and if so - is it any good. I found reference to it in the 'Links' page and am quite interested in what she has to say, but it ain't cheap and getting it to the UK will cost as well. A bit of feedback as to h...

The Illearth War was my fave so far anyway. :) It's my first time reading all of the books. I'm on White Gold Wielder. :) Bannor probably did hook up with those girls. We saw Cail go back to the Merewives, afterall ;) No - I don't believe Bannors Haruchai nature would ever let his fidelity to his f...

The Haruchai.

It is fairly clear that the Haruchai feature highly as one of the major 'creations' of Donaldson in making the Land what it is and what we love. But answer me this - Do all the Haruchai, including the Bloodguard, have just one personallity. Is Bannor the same individual as Brin or even Stave, in the...

Yep. I've always thought of Sherpas, partly because they also live among the high peaks and frozen desolate wastelands. I have done a few trips in Nepal and Tibet and the Himalayan mountain people are indeed the closest thing to the Haruchai that I have met. They are 'capable' in a way that surpass...

Re: AAAggghhhh!!!! HOW COULD SHE?? (ending spoiler)

Really I am SHOCKED 8O by Linden's actions at the end of FR. How she could bring Covenant back from the Dead!! What was she thinking??? I have real sypathy for Linden here. All the way through the third series to date Covenant has been sending her cryptic and mixed signals as to what she should be ...

That cover really does Brinn injustice (if that really is Brinn). First, no self-respecting Haruchai would never be crouching in that position with an open-mouthed expression. Brinn would be standing with the usual dispassionate look on his face. Secondly, the Haruchai never felt the need for weapo...

At the risk of getting bogged down in minutiae here (if it isn't to late for that already) it occurs to me that the watch in its leaning out cannot do more so than is consistant with the problems Covenant had in navigating the stairs. Too much lean - too easy to descend (remember Covenant had to com...

Foamfollower is huge of stature as well as height, he has small deepset eyes that twinkle with perpetual good humour. His face is homely rather than good looking, heavy browed and bearded, curley haired (reddish) and heavy set in his features. His hands are large - even for a giant and calloused fro...

QED Wayfriend - now I have to re-adjust my (erroneous) mental image hardened over 30 years into granite as obdurate as that of the watch itself.

Is there any reason why they should? (I think there may be a 'leaning outward' version on the front cover of one of the editions of LFB in the cover art section - not one of my favorites it has to be said). That's very nice. But no one seems to want to depict Kevin's Watch leaning outwards, for some...

Not far - maybe 2/3 of the way through the second book. By then it was pretty clear that it wasn't going to work for me. Interesting as well that King cites TCTC as one of his 'inspirations' to write the series (along with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly). Do you mean challenging as in difficult to g...
