Hi
Hey, I just joined the forum.
My dad has read all the Thomas Covenant books so far and is starting to read some more Donaldson stuff, and he likes it alot so he's had me start reading it too and so far I think it's pretty cool. I'm about to finish the first book in the first series today or tomorrow probly!
So I have a ways to go yet, and I probably won't exactly know what alot of discussions are about for the time being, but oh well! tty'l!

Welcome, LT! I love that name... I saw it on the admin panel and I though, Yes! A sense of humor! Very cool.

Hello
Hi folks!
I read the 1st & 2nd Chron. of TC way back when the 2nd Chron. were new,
and remember at the time reading in some fantasy/sf art book that SRD planned
for a 2nd and a 3rd/last Chron. So after WGW I waited...waited...waited...
thought he'd given up the idea... (I read the Gap... books but didn't like them so much)
And last week I was in the bookstore and was STUNNED when I saw the
_Runes of the Earth_ quietly sitting there. I just about shrieked aloud.
Of course I bought it immediately (heh, it won out over Gene Wolfe's _The Wizard_
which I was happy to see, too, but....guess I'll buy/read it later)
and stayed up all night to read it.
Wow.
Agh. AGH! 3 more books to wait for?!
Then I discovered this forum. Yay! Now I won't explode from not having anyone
to discuss the books with. (The first time around, my friends were into SRD too,
and for some reason we used to go around pretending to be TC and muttering
"hellfire" and "don't touch me" at people.
)

Welcome, John.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

hi
I'm new here and really like the site. I'm interested in SRD and am interested in discussing any films to be made and, of course in the wonderful TC books. Have been very excited since I knew Runes was coming out and have re read the first six books to prepare!!! It was mind blowing - can't believe he's come up with so many new ideas and its my new favourite. Oh yes and I'm scottish so hope to readdress the balance and most of you seem to be from the US.

"Courtesy is like a drink at a mountain stream..."
I'm new here, and thank you for the welcome! In accepting your gift, I return honor to the giver.
I am a VERY avid fan of the first and second Chronicles, and have been since I got the first Chronicles boxed set as a gift for my 12th birthday. (I'm 35 now.)
After reading the first Chronicles to tatters, imagine my excitement when I stumbled across "The Wounded Land" in a bookstore for the first time!
Well, that excitement has been rediscovered today, Christmas Day, as I have just now learned from this site about the new Chronicles! What a great Christmas present! I can tell you all I will be at the bookstore first thing tomorrow morning when they open for my copy, and the "Do not disturb" sign on the door for the next week!!!
I have dreamed for years about a new series that would resurrect the Giants, the Haruchai, Ranyhyn, "Giant-troth Revelstone" and Andelain. I have wondered if we would ever get to explore the Outer Earth, the Giantish Home, or the lands below the Southron Range...
I look forward to joining your community! Peace...
