Donaldson From: JWenn To: SF-LOVERS%rutgers:EDU cc: JWenn, tanelorn!david%CS.ORST:EDU Well, Mr.Donaldson has been discussed to death here recently, so I won't belabor the issue. I've read his first two trilogies (some of you may have noticed that I'm an omnivourous reader) and while the setting was interesting, Thomas Covenant was an incredible twit and his misusage of long, obscure words just got to me after a while (and the second trilogy felt padded). So I've never felt the urge to try his more recent works.
