Banks) Distribution: net Organization: Decision Systems Lab., Univ. of Pgh. Lines: 9 Summary: I had trouble getting started on the Donaldson books. The style sort of reminded me of "The Worm Ouroboros" (maybe not quite as bad). Maybe I'll try again, since people seemed to like them. I enjoyed the Gene Wolfe "Book of the New Sun" better than anything I had read since 1966 ("Lord of the Rings"). How far should you have to read in the Donaldson books before it should be clear whether or not you are going to like them?
