fairly well educated, but when I read for pleasure, I don't want to have to
have a thesaurus right there.
Much fun has been had at the expense of Donaldson over that...
About three pages into the first book, I was
reminded of Margaret Meade in her "Growing Up in New Guinea" saying that
young boys would micturate into the water.
Micturate isn't such a rare word - but then I'm British, and we like scatological humour, and expectorate in the face of evil...
Of course, all this is a matter of personal taste and as for Covenant,
didn't like the taste. Don't ask why I read all 6 books. Okay, I'll tell
you . . . I finish what I start. I figured the next book would have to get
better--they didn't. I won't read a third trilogy.
I quite enjoyed the first two trilogies, but haven't reread them since they were published. Which was probably quite a while ago now...
