Greetings newbies - be welcome - welcome and true!
It is awesome having an intelligent place to discuss our fav author!
Dag - don't stop reading! Keep posting your thoughts as you read.
You all should think about joining the dissection of the Land group read - it is really cool & you will get different views of the story you hadn't thought about - guaranteed!
Go to the main forum index & look for 'Dissecting the Land'
I checked back and it has been close on 8 months since this particular version of the discussion started up. I'm not too sure how old the original version was?
Hi Sunsage! What's shaking? Be welcome and true! Sorry! We all need 2 move our butts out of Dissecting the Land over 2 the TC forum, respond 2 some of the posts over here, and say hi 2 wonderful new folk, like u!!!
Greetings Archimage, Gossamer, BaB, Dag, and SunSage! And welcome to our humble abode dedicated to works of author Stephen R Donaldson! Glad you can join us and enjoy!
Hey, all. Second time here. Thought I'd register this time. See you around the board.
"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.”
-George Steiner
Just thought I'd add a post here, since I'm new to this board. I first read the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant about 9 years ago when I was in college. Interestingly, a friend had given me the books and recommended them highly. They promptly began to gather dust on my bookshelf until about a year later when I finally decided that I didn't have anything else to read and I would try them.
At the time, I "wasn't into" fantasy, so there was no great appeal. That sure changed. I was hooked immediately, and read through them at an accelerating pace ... I think I must have read Power That Preserves in one sitting (probably not, but it felt like it). It was winter time, and I could never seem to get the thermostat high enough to feel warm - the cold just soaks into your bones when you read that one.
The copies I had were old, and it wasn't until some time later that I learned there actually was a *second* Chronicles. I read through them almost as fast as the first and loved them even more.
Great discussion board for some truly great works of literature - a series that transcends its genre.
I've been lurking around this site for the last several months...
I just finished the 2nd Chronicles a few weeks ago, TWL took me 4 months to get through, it ripped my heart out
I decided to re-read the entire series last week, only to find out that this board is "dissecting the land" at the same time! I have a little catchup to do, but I'll join ya over there soon!
Greetings everybody. I just found this site when surfing for some Stephen Donaldson sites and decided to try logging on here and making a new identity.
As you can probably understand from my name and signature I am a great fan of SRD's shorter work as well as of the Chronicles. This is mostly because I have great trouble putting down any SRD books if I start reading them, and thus it suits me a lot better to read shorter works.
