	Amazon.com: Chronicles of Thomas Covenant-3 Vols (Boxed): Books: Stephen R. Donaldson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The references to it all mentioned a complex and well-done fantasy world a la Tolkien and the principal character, Thomas Covenant, whose main characteristic was that he denied the reality of the new fantasy Land he finds himsef in (hence his title, The Unbeliever).
		All this is in sharp contrast to Covenant who is cranky, nasty and always complaining about how his leprosy limits his life and screaming "Don't touch me! I'm a leper!" Which is a bit odd since the author takes great pains to point out repeatedly that leprosy is barely contagious.
		Thomas Covenant,a leper, whos wife has divorced him because of that, passes out in the street and wakes up to find himself in a new world.Shocked by this,he thinks that it is all a dream therefore he is called the Unbeliever.
