And the Watch would lose many intelligent, valued comments from a master poster. Doesn't seem to be in the web sites best interest does it?dANdeLION wrote:Okay, I'll go and delete all your posts out of my forums then, Marvin the Magnet!

Happy Birthday BTW!
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.
I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

Welcome to the Watch Cable.
Many people (especially here-especially me) were very surprised when they read the GAP series.
Darker than the Chronicles, but very well written.
If it's not your cup of tea, we have lots and lots of Chronicles disscusions here.
Have you read Runes yet?

I thought you were a ripe grape

the kind you keep for a really long time

Yeah, I ate it in about three days, then started trolling for information about the next series of books (Good gravy, the internet's a great thing... I used to just sit around stewing in anticipation, now I can stew in anticipation with a date in mind).
I liked the Gap series a lot, much more so than the Mordant stuff. He continued his tradition of defying stock roles and characters by inverting announcing them, then negating them... a nice trick for the more literal readers. Still, the chronicles have a flavor to them I haven't found elsewhere... and it's well sustained, as opposed to a few of the other authors (e.g. Moorecock and the Stormbringer stuff, which is decent for about one book, then just devolves with little new to say... after only a couple hundred pages).

Howdy!
Well first I've gotta say, I never knew so many other people love TCTC! It's pretty damn cool.

Greetings!
I've been a Donaldson fan since the early 80's when I first read the Chronicles as a teen. I re-read them again in the late 80's and have since gone on to read most of his work including the Gap series.
Last fall I found out about The Runes of the Earth and nearly fell out of my chair with excitement! I was tempted to buy the book right away but since I hadn't read the originals in so long I decided to go through them again first. I just finished The Wounded Land and am about to start on The One Tree. I am trying to go slowly so I can savor the story all over again.
When I found this site I was very pleased to see so many fans of the series. You have done a splendid job dissecting the novels and your insights have made my third read through of the books my most enjoyable yet!
So thank you to all who contributed to the 'Dissecting The Land' threads and I look forward to reading the remainder of those discussions in the coming months!
