Old timer new to forum

I was looking up some info on the Covenant movie and stumbled upon this board. I have loved the Covenant series since I was a young boy. I actually bought the original trilogy as it came out, so that tells you how old I am 
A year ago, my wife and daughters were harping on how good the Twilight books were, and naturally, I told them that if they wanted to know what good writing looked like, there was an old series that I read when I was young called the Thomas Covenant series. With the power of Amazon at my fingertips, I found both trilogies bound together in two books, and ordered it. While waiting on my books to arrive, I visited Wikipedia to refresh my memory on who was who in the series and discovered that Mr. Donaldson had written the first two of the last series already and the third was due out shortly after. Needless to say, I squealed like a little girl
and bought them both from Barnes and Noble. I devoured them all in a few short weeks, often staying up until 1 or 2 in the morning "just to read one more chapter". I now own, and have read AATE, and am rather bitter about having to wait 2 years for the last one 
I will say that all of the cursing in Fatal Revenant was a bit of a put-off, but I get that Roger needed to be shown as someone who didn't give a rip about anyone or anything.
Well, now that I've said hi... I'll explore the forum!
