[LMB] What is wrong with Thomas Covenant books OT:

Kalina shares, about the _Shannara_ books:

>But by then I had read a lot more fantasy, and, as aside from LOTR and
>Earthsea, Shannara was my first venture there, I will not go into 
>elaborate criticism - I _am_ grateful, as it opened a multitude of books I

That's an excellent point, Kalina!   Even if some books don't hold up to a 
re-read, they were necessary steps to get us to where we are:  enthralled 
fans of Lois' books.  Some things it is necessary to learn to appreciate 
first, before being able to savor the masterpieces, in more ways.

Speaking of savoring masterpieces, what's up with the _Hallowed Hunt_ 
discussion?  Weren't Elizabeth Holden & Peter Granzeau starting that up 
again last week?
