What I'm Reading Right Now
(Well okay, not right now, 'cause right now I'm updating my LJ, but, you know what I mean.)
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, by Stephen R. Donaldson. A present from my (((Scape Sisters))), and one of the very few fantasy books that have been on my To Read list for a while. I'm somewhat leery of most fantasy as it tends to be so derivative, but this is one interesting book. Trilogy. Series. Whatever.
I don't want to write more here now, as it's late and I want to get to bed, but for your delectation here's a discussion I found today on a Chronicles of Thomas Covenant board, and which illustrates nicely the main *flaw* of the series:

I highly recommend reading the thread, or at least the first few posts, as it's highly amusing (at least to me).
Oh, and despite this point of criticism, I also recommend reading the series. ;-)
