I think that's part of the essential charm of the thread.

Even if it does make me crazy every time I see it.

Now I'm reading the Rising Stars comic anthology in hardback and the new Thomas Covenant book. Next on the stack is Devil in the White City.

Ooooh, the White Gold Wielder. That takes me right back. I found Thomas Covenant a very entertaining anti-hero.

I always thought that Thomas Covenant was a much more compelling and independent character in our world, and a terrible, terrible whiner every time he hit his head and ended up There.

That was kinda the point.

As for whether you enjoy reading his whining, that's another story.

No, I didn't enjoy reading his whining. I also didn't get WHY strong and independent and cranky ass Thomas magically turned into a Wimp in The Land. And yes, I read them more and once, just to be sure. Just like LOTR.
