h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I was going to put this in the Gap convo but it seemed very long.
Donaldson is my favorite along with Adams.I think I've read all of Donaldson but am anxious for more.The GAP series was awsome!The Covenant books which I've reread many times are wonderful.It's nice to know there's someone out there who enjoys them as much as I.I agree that the second Covenant series was not as easy to read as the first.I so enjoy an antihero.

Tell me, have you read "Reeve The Just" as it's the only Donaldson I haven't read or own. I'm desperate to, though! I really enjoyed "Daughter of Regals", with the Unicorn story probably being my favourite. If you've read them, what did you think?

Reeve the Just sounds familar but I'm not sure.Do you know what it's about?Is it a novel or short story?I read Daughters of Regals a long time ago and the memory is vague,but I think I'll reread it now.When I read the Gap series I had accidentally come across the second book and immediatlly started.I was too impatient to wait till I had found the first book.Very confusing doing it that way.Did you read Mordants Need?

Mordant's Need was the first Donaldson I read, and I first read it all in 2 days flat - I never put those books down! The second time took me two weeks, but it was just as enjoyable. I know the feeling about not wanting to wait to get the books - as soon as I had finished reading the First Chronicles I had to read the second Chronicles - and I read "The Illearth war" and "Gilden-Fire" at the same time, more or less, which wasn't too confusing luckily!
As for Reave the Just - like Daughter of Regals, it's a collection of short-stories that was published in paperback not that long ago. It's the most recent thing he's written - but I haven't been able to get a copy to read yet. I really want to, though - I've read everything else!

Ho, disciples of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever!

Such dark books. Like y'all, I gulped them down, couldn't wait for more (and Donaldson seems to write trilogies effortlessly). And I fought them all the way; couldn't believe D would create such wonderful worlds only to destroy them.

Hail Asteroid Lil.Its easy to get lost in his worlds.

Went out looking for Reeve the Just today.Now you have me so antsy for it.

When you read it - let me know what it's like! I'm desperate to get it as it's the only Donaldson I haven't got/read (that I know of). If I drop enough hints, maybe I can get it for Christmas....

Still looking.Did find some info online.Reave the Just is a collection of stories.There are sites dedicated to SRD.Cant remember the addresses,but could get them if you want.Or you could search.Theres a site at Kent U where SRD attended.Interesting letter there.

Reave the Just is offered at http://www.sfbc.com, the science fiction book club site.

Thanks! I'll be sure to see that then!

I have found Reave the Just.Also found out it comes out in paperback in feb. Funds dictate I wait until then.

Really? Where abouts are you? It's in paberback here in Southampton, UK especially at Waterstones.

I'm in New York USA.I guess we've got a different release date.

I fear so...
(At last - revenge for you getting all the films at the cinema up to 4 months before we do!!!!)

Only 4 months after US release on films... you should try living in this half of the world

:^)#

Which half is that?

The bottom half

;^)#

Well, I guess they have to re-shoot the film upside-down before they can send it to you...

Yes, but does it really take 4 months to add the "u's" to humour & colour before they release it for you?

;^)#
