Come on in and tell us more about yourself. IMPORTANT: For new members, please read Hello all of you people. Just finished White Gold Wielder for the first time last night, and I am honestly still shell-shocked.
To explain myself, I am 18 years old and just started my freshman year of college. My Dad is a HUGE fan of the chrons, and finally managed to get me to read the series. (He has been trying ever since he failed when I was 11)
I did read Mordant's need a long time ago and LOVED it. I think I was 12 at the time. Dad gave them to me after his failure to get me on covenant. (to be fair, I DID make it to the middle of Illearth War, my 11 year old patience just ran out.) After reading Mordant's need again this summer, I decided it was time to tackle Covenant again.
I was absolutely stunned with the emotional depth of these novels, and am still reeling inwardly with all the subtle emotional nuances and philosophical ideas. (man I can get wordy when I sing praise, brings out the self-hate in me.)
Anyway, I decided to tackle the boards to start discussing these works and asking questions about books that no one I know BUT my father was read.
Well, hello Kevinswatch.com
P.S. Man was I surprised to learn my dad actually posts on this forum under the name MHOrgel. Go fig.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.
He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

How clearly I remember the first time I finished it. The shock! The dismay! The complete surprise that Donaldson had had the nerve, the sheer effrontery to end the series (I thought) the way that he did. Probably took me a few days to get over it, (if not more), especially considering the serious effort I put in to get my hands on the 2nd chrons.I was blown away.
Man, I envy you for being able to read it that first time.
