Go in to the The Last Chronicles forum, and scroll down to the Instructions for how to see Against All Things Ending forum thread. ~jay has posted the means for gaining access to the hidden forum there.

As I have not finished AATE yet, I have not gone in to that forum. Please explore the rest of the Watch as well; we have topics to cover nearly anything. I look forward to reading your posts throughout.

Thank you

Menolly,
Thanks for the greeting and the help with the forum. I hope I can contribute to the discussions...I should probably re-read the previous trilogies.

Hi to Elkasabe. I decided you were all right and have re-invested in new copies of the First & Second Chronicles (my original copies disappeared years ago). Already hooked - but how much easier are the old books to read than the new? I always feel like I have to sit with a Theosaurus with the Last Chronicles. The dissections are interesting. I might throw my hat in the ring if I get adventurous! Thanks to all well wishers offering guidance.

Oh, I have always needed a dictionary when reading the chrons, from LFB forward. I must admit learning here about the Stephen R. Donaldson Ate My Dictionary site has helped tremendously, when I make the effort to look a word up instead of glossing over it...

I only ever look up words on re-reads- first time through, I gloss. Too exciting. :)

But I agree with Seadreamer, as verbose as all of Donaldson's books are,the Last Chronicles are definitely the most dense work of his I've read.

Perhaps sindatur is the new na-Mhoram...
Focus on where you are going and why.
Never lose awareness of how far down "down" is...but don't obsess about it.

If Elksabe should
Contract a blood-borne illness
Try Chemo-sabe

Of course, I do not
Mean to risk the evil eye
Excuse the wordplay

Lone Ranger pun was
Just too tempting to resist
I am weak that way...

Indeed. Since no actual "vampires" exist in the Land, we'd soon have sparkly, bishounen Giant fan-characters running all over the place, not to mention shirtless Stonedownors turning into kresh.

(Also welcome new folks.)
