    I read all of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant twice (I needed twice to
    properly 'get' parts of it).

    I can't say I actually 'enjoyed' it but it did capture my attention.

    It was sort of like watching a train and knowing it was about to crash
    because the bridge was out in front of it, but you just can't look away :)

    You were always a dubious character Gerry.
    Your opinion is valid. My opinion of the book is different but also
    valid. Perception is reality.
    Oops, did I touch a little nerve somewhere or do you just hate
    everybody who disagrees with your opinion/perception/reality?

    Hehehe. I read Thomas C many years ago (early eighties). I was
    literally waiting for him to finish writing each volume, and am now
    reading the new series.

    Try Tad Williams.

    Now THERE is a successful series that beggars comprehension. Masochism
    perhaps ?
