Reacquaint yourself with The Land

It has been some years since I last re-read The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. With all of the much deserved accolades for Peter Jacksons adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, I have been getting more and more thirsty for getting back to the world that, to me, was much more poignant and vital than Middle-Earth ever was. To me, T.C.O.T.C.T.U. was the first alternate world that I felt a part of.
Likely this is due to the fact that I started reading these books as a teenager and so they really made an impact. And the fact that I read Thomas Covenant BEFORE reading LOTR means that The Land has a more firm hold on my imagination then Middle Earth. Although I have come to Love M.E. quite a lot...I yearn to travel to Kevin's Watch, and walk thru the Andelainian Hills, and to see the Council of The Lords...sigh. It is not likely to happen however. For even though these books (six in all) were on the bestseller list when they were published, they haven't garnered anywhere near the worldwide popularity of LOTR.
Still, I feel better for having posted my thoughts on this here. In fact, if you stumble across my Blog for some really wierd reason, you may want to check out this website: Kevins Watch

Until the urge takes over again, I remain your humble servant.
