"The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant," Book Three: new title
My editors and I have agreed on a new title for what I call Covenant 9: "Against All Things Ending". It lacks the thematic "resonance" of my previous title, but I have to admit that I like the way it sounds.

I thought the same thing. My dad gave me that book when I was 11, and I felt insulted that he was giving me a "children's book." I should have known better -- the man who insisted that his 4-year-old child watch Alien, Conan the Barbarian, and The Terminator was not about to hand me a children's book 7 years later.James wrote:Haha, "Lord Foul's Bane" made me think it was a childrens book... then I read it.

ahh, those year 2 recesses jumping around the playground pretending to spit acid at my friends...

Ditto on Lord Foul's Bane. I was recommended the book by a friend of mine (who apparently lent me his First Edition Copy of it that was nearly in need of a rebind, and I do believe had been repaired atleast once) who, not only is he able to carry on a conversation on the expert level on such diverse fields as Anthopology, Genetics, Computer Science, Quantum Mechanics, and 'History of Fiction,' whatever you want to call that (The man is a living encyclopaedia of knowledge,) but is also one of the most mature human beings I have ever met. I suspect he is actually a Boddhisatvva (or however it's spelled), and just doesn't want to tell anyone. Or maybe one of the Lamed Vav Tzadikim (I seriously do hold this theory as plausable, and thus is the reason I've never mentioned such to him. I hold too much respect for the Lord Our God of Israel).
So he gives me this book, Lord Foul's Bane, and calls it the greatest book he has ever read, the first book of the greatest series he has ever read, and the thing that had the most impact on him when he was young. I read it, at first, out of respect to him, so I would atleast be able to talk about it. Within a week I'd finished it (staying up late, being late to work, so I had time to read it,) and was greeting him at clubs jumping up and down shouting, in unison with him, "LEPER OUTCAST UNCLEAN!"
The name is rather put-offing, I admit, though I've managed to turn my best friend, and father of my Godson, onto it. He's zipped through my copy of LFB, and when we talked about it (when he was near the end,) he said that I didn't have to give him copies of the other books, and his dad is apparently a rabid fan of the series and has them. And apparently, by introducing him to TCTC, I've managed to bring him and his dad closer together!
So, TCTC: Greatest Fantasy Series EVER! UNITER OF PARENT AND CHILD!

"Against All Things Ending"???? Where have I been? What happened to "Shall Pass Utterly" and "Should Pass Utterly"? And how many more changes have I missed? Jeez, I need to get in here more than once a week it appears. So much for having a life.
Heard my ears aright? Did not the gaddhi grant me this glaive?

Oh, you haven't heard? It's not "The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" anymore. It's now:
"The Second Chronicles of Linden Avery"

Well, I'm sure shouting, "DON'T TOUCH ME!" and jerking away hasitly from every woman who tried to talk to me helped.Relayer wrote:Oh, you haven't heard? It's not "The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" anymore. It's now:
