    Had my eye on The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever (or whatever) for years now, and just started reading it. Very wordy.

    Yeah that is the first one.

    I always seem to find new series when browsing and end up finding book 2 of X as intro to series.

    I have read most of Donaldson's stuff starting back in the 1980's with Lord Foul's Bane. He writes pretty well with good plot and great character development. The main characters have major mental issues. He also wrote a space sci-fi series that starts with "The Real Story" and then goes into another trilogy.

    The first Chronicles trilogy is the best of the series.

    I'm not into it far enough yet, so I can't answer. It starts in our modern world though, and then the main character is transported or something to some other world. I guess that's where the Unbeliever part comes in. I try not to look stuff up before I read it, so I can't tell you yet.

    Buffalobo, do you consider High Fantasy and Epic Fantasy to be the same thing?
