The series can be addictive and considering the tomes involved that is indeed quite an accomplishment. I first read Lord Fouls Bane in 1981 at 17. I borrowed the other two paperbacks from Mums and read those as well. They were addictive to my young mind at the time. I didn't know of the second Chronicles for at least another year. When I found that out I sought them out and bought my first hardcover edition of The One Tree off the stand. I eventually revisited the six book series at least twice more before I put them all on the shelf for many years
When the Last Chronicles were announced some years ago it renewed interest and I sought out all first editions on eBay so my collection would be a fine one. I also have two first edition Lord of the Rings books from that period and had inherited my Uncle Steve's massive collection of Doc Savage pulps around that time. I have been collecting comics since the late seventies so I had a collectors mentality. I have a few signed copies of the Chronicles as they were being released in the early 2ks. So my collection has been complete for some years. I may revisit the series once more before I go to The Land for the last time myself. The series is now 10 books in total and is an undertaking once you decide to embark on the journey.
It is well worth it.
I also have Donaldson's Gap series and some of his other works but for me The Chronicles remains his seminal series
