Top Dog.
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever (Books 1-3) by Stephen Donaldson, which seems to drawa bit of criticism here-at least several people have emntioned it in the worst books of all time. I can see where they are going, even if I don't agree. If you are looking for something to happen, say for Covenant to be pro active or shut up about leprosy, it isn't a great book. I found that some of the scnes-The Ranhyhyn and the Colossus, for example, were brilliant and I really enjoyed them. The ending was a bit of a change of pace, and almost makes me wonder how he'll pull 4-6 off, but Donaldson has never shied from a deus ex machina yet.

I wouldn't recommend the book to many people unless I knew they liked that sort of thing, because it is a relatively dry and repetitive book. I'll still be reading 4-6.
