Hey! I'm new! I strolled upon this site while I was looking for chapter summaries of The White Gold Wielder.
I bought my copy awhile ago when I was a lot younger than I am now (okay, I'm not anywhere close to being old nor do I claim to be, but, eleven seems like a long time ago), and I didn't have any money at that period of time... so when the library was selling discards for 50 cents I, of course, was extremely excited and bought all of the second chronicles and doubles of the first.
The White Gold Wielder was always the one in the saddest shape, and now, as I'm reading it, I find out it's missing seven pages. I honestly probably could read the rest without those seven pages... but... hey, I want to know what happens.
And this just got much longer than I intended it to be.

Hail malinda_maloney, welcome to Kevins Watch.
White Gold Wielder was always my favourite of the fist six books. I love chapter 19; The Sun-Sage.

Hello everyone, I'm Edelaith.
May I join the conversation in this forum?
I have been a fan of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant since they were first published in the late 70s, and have long sought out a messageboard in which I could discuss them with fellow fans.
I have reread the Chronicles several times, and each time I have received a different impression of what I read. My life experiences gave me new perspectives to use with each rereading.
Donaldson is a good author, and his books are good books, his characters are interesting, his plots interesting, and I just thought there was an awful lot of material worth discussing.
Mind if I join in the discussion?
Edelaith

Hi Edelaith. Glad to see you here!

A pleasure to meet you, onewyteduck.
It is really great to find a forum like this.
It is really great to find fellow fans of the Chronicles like you, to talk with.
I have wanted for many years to sit and discuss the Chronicles. I just want to talk about the characters and events in them: it's a fascinating topic for me.
I like to go into What Ifs, and Why Nots. Hypotheticals. The Should and Could as well as the Would and Did.
There are so many such Should and Could situations in the Chronicles that did not end in Would and Did, that I can't shake a stick at all of them.
I will be the first to state much of the Chronicles went over my head when I read them, and still go over my head today.
I would be pretty arrogant to say I had a comprehensive grasp of the Chronicles. As I accumulate life experiences, I have come to better comprehend what I have been reading and rereading, though. Sometimes I have been shocked at just how differently certain passages come off to me now, compared to 20 years ago when I first read them.

Um, say, Edelaith, haven't we seen you around these parts before?
I guess you're just officially saying hello, so hello and welcome to the Watch!

Hello all.

Hello all.
I've read the TC Chronicles more times than any other book - but I think that's partly because they are an easy read in the sense that I don't have to think about them too hard. Great narrative great characters.
So I wouldn't say they where my favourite books although probably my favourite fantasy equally with LOTR.
My favourite book, at the moment, would probably be one of Dickens and could be one of several probably Bleak House. Also Umberto Eco's Focault's Pendulum - now there's a plot which takes some working out!
Just finished The Runes and felt it to be equal to the second chronicles but not better and I preferred the first chronicles - always slightly peeved when Linden got involved. TC is my man.
Anyway there's a bit of a ramble and look forward to joining in the fun (although I have been lurking for a while!).

Glad you've decided to come aboard Dave, hope you have a lot of fun here. Plenty to talk and think about. Don't be shy, just jump right in.
Loved Focault's Pendulum by the way, have you read any of his others? Name of the Rose is excellent as well.

Hi Avatar - yes indeed The Name of the Rose and The island of the Day before (or whatever it's called). I love the complexity of Eco's stories and the historical stuff.Avatar wrote:Loved Focault's Pendulum by the way, have you read any of his others? Name of the Rose is excellent as well.

Perhaps in another forum it would be a challenge to try and explain the plot of Focault's Pendulum - I tried it once and it ain't easy

That's what the General Literature forum is for, under the Library. By all means, start a topic, although I'd have to re-read it to do it justice, (or even be reasonably intelligent about it), it's been a couple of years.
Serendipities, short little book on linguistics, IIRC, was fun too.
I'm outta here for today though, catch you later,
