Post by IntuItOne »

Long time reader of Stephen R. Donaldson - read the Chronicles of TCa nd The Second Chronicles of TC in hardbacks mostly as they were written.

Am now reading Bk. 2 of The Last Chronicles of TC in digital format on my Nook, and borrowed a paper-back to have direct access to the Glossary. I've forgotten way to much.

LoL

Thanks for having me, I'm looking forward to spending some time here.

Hello IntuItOne :wave:

If you were reading the 2nd Chrons as they were written you must be nearly as old as me. I had to wait for TOT and TPTP too. :D
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

Greetings, IntuItOne. In case you are still interested in discussing Stephen Donaldson's books after diving into the Tank right away, there are several curious discussions, including some about me - and some just interesting, like the one about the Worm being a song or the one with a comparison of Donaldson's phrasing to Lovecraft's.

Your words also apparently imply that you haven't read any of Donaldson's other books, only the Chronicles - you may be quite surprised to find them both similar and different, yet differently fascinating.
I have many names... and may play many roles

Welcome to the Watch, IntuItOne!
May you thrive here and contribute.

Always happy to have another resident of the Pacific Northwet among us. Between Portland and Seattle (and the less population-dense areas around those major metropoli), we now have quite a few web-footed Watchers. It may be time for a regional mini-fest soon...

Be Welcome to the Watch, IntuItOne.
Be Well Come and True.

Any other interests besides the chrons and debates? You'll find a thread for just about anything somewhere in the forums.

Thanks LF for the welcome. You right I've only read the Chronicles - just don't have the time for Donaldson's other works at the moment. Maybe in the future.

Thank you Menolly.

Yep I'll slowly get to the off-topic threads.

If I may suggest, open each quote response in a new tab, compose your response, and then cut and paste them in to a single reply post. It saves a workout on the fingers from having to scroll down quite so much. ;)

That was my attempt to hint at what Av said regarding multi-posting.
