Thank [REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR DEITY] for that! Someone who got as big a mindf**k out of reading Thomas Covenant as I did. I was so annoyed when it got slagged off in THE PROBLEMS WITH SCIENCE FICTION IV.The guy who sent the articleobviously did not understand what it was all about. Thank you from the bottom of my ring for reaffirming that I'm not the only idiot yelling in the wilderness about how great these books are. Chris said everything I always say and more. One thing. When I read them the first time, I sympathised with Covenant,because I knew he would find it in him eventually.Perhaps lepers are everywhere. R.Ramsay
