So...
...has anyone else here ever read "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant: UnBeliever"?
The series has done something that I would have thought impossible - it's surpassed both the "Dark Tower" and the "Song of Ice & Fire" series to become my new favorite.
Right now, I'm ~3/4 of the way through book #9 (of 10)...and - for the 1st time in a long time - I'm really gripped & immersed in something that I'm reading; I can't read it fast enough to see what happens next while, at the same time, I'm dreading knowing that there's only one book left & that it's almost over.
I'm *really* lucky to have started reading it in the last year, because...iirc, the 1st book came out in the late 70's/early 80's and the last one wasn't finished until 2013.
A strong, strong, strong recommendation to any big fantasy fans/people who've read & enjoyed GRRM's books.
Hahaha!
It's easy to see that GRRM gave Stephen Donaldson the highest form of flattery; imitation!
