by the time the last book is published we will have read a million and a half words of Thomas Covenant. And we will probably wish he'd write more.

Like when I finished reading translations of The Illiad, and Dante's Inferno, I just wanted there to be more story with those characters and in that "world" as the author described.

And when I add the qualifier, with those magics or technologies, to the list with the TC books, I'd probably add only Card's Ender & Shadow novels, Tolkein, Narnia, and A Wrinkle in Time.

The list of such books is periously short, but I keep reading nonetheless.

You could also add Gilden-Fire into the mix, or have you?

No I haven't! I keep forgetting about that!

Wow - A Wrinkle in Time. There's a book from the past!
