Lord Foul's Bane

This is maybe the fourth or fifth time I've read this, but this was the hardest to get through - I couldn't get into it.

Donaldson does have a power and vision, but in 2023 I found his use of words more pretentious than anything (big props for reading this as an ebook to look things up en route), and neither the plot nor the characters engaged me this time around.

I think what I'm mainly missing is being 14 years old reading this on a Sunday afternoon. Next up, I think, is A Short History of Stupid by Helen Razer and Bernard Keane, as a palette cleanser.

This was a beast to get through. So many unfamiliar names and terminology kept making lose track of the plot several times. I'm hoping things pick up in the next book since I've heard good things about this series.

The first four of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant are great immersive fun. If you are reading them at a rate of less than one book per day, you're doing it wrong.
