Rereading Shadowland by Peter Straub. My copy was an old second hand paperback when I got it. I fear for its spine. I've already got one paperback held together by a hair elastic; I suspect this one isn't far off.
THE FATAL REVENANT by Stephen Donaldson. Actually, I just finished it. That means that I've spent about a month reading all EIGHT of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever. (Six are re-reads.) The ninth will be published next month. Then I have to wait about three years for him to wrap everything up, which will suck. Write faster!
just finished "the boxcar children". i read it to my 5 year old granddaughter. she loved it. i loved it when i was a kid but this time not so much. kids working 8 hour days as orchard pickers in the hot sun? with no sunscreen, no bug spray ? kids swimming with no flotation devices? petting a stray dog, making fires and playing with knives? i kept muttering to myself --where are the authorities? --s6
I have also read that one. I didn't like it so much because it felt abstract and implausible, but it feels like I have to finish the series when I have come so far. I don't think Donaldson writes extremely slow. At least he finish his books somewhat according to his schedule. GRR Martin is worse.THE FATAL REVENANT by Stephen Donaldson.
