Greetings/Finished Runes/Thanks for Responses

Post by Rukh »

Greetings to you all. I am back in the office today, and was very pleased with all the responses to my rather extensive posts this last weekend. As alway I am impressed by the calibre of thought I encounter here. The Covenant books were, and are, so much more to me than escapist fantasy. Some of you may find this bizare, but these books probably had a greater impact on my spiritual, intellectual, and emotional development then virtually any other thing in my life. I delight in the depth and resonance of these tales.
I finished Runes over the weekend, and I am still in a state of awe. And, just like the last two chronicles I can already see that this story is going to deepen my undersanding of the overall story. It is remarkable that SRD has the ability to generate and synthesize new and old elements to the story. When I first undertook to read the 2nd chronicles the thing that was foremost in my mind was that there was no way that he was going to be able to do anything fresh with the story. I was completely convinced that Covenant had endured the worst and that there was no way that Foul was going to be able to do it to him again. And SRD, of course, proved me wrong. And in this series he is doing it all over again, and I love it!!!

It brings new meaning to the quote, "I don't believe it. You can't be stupid enough to try this again!"
