I certainly would like to read more  of  Donaldson.  But  more  THomas
Covenant?  Hmmm.  I am not sure where he (Donaldson) can go from here.
I greatly enjoyed the series even though for the first few  books,  TC
was  just a real pain to be around -- for the reader as much as anyone
*in* the story.

And, no, I could not take 9 more books on the same story line (I don't
think  I  could).  I  feel  obligated  when I start a series to finish
it...  And I don't want to read that much abouTC. (I  stopped  reading
about Pern because I got all dragon-ed out after 4 or so books...)

But Donaldson's writing -- of *that* I would like to see more.
