The Wounded Land (The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, #1)

I've read thousands of books in English and Spanish and I put this book down after reading all but 80 pages and I refuse to pick it up again. Why? The self loathing that the characters express got old fast.
In the first trilogy, I understand it. Main character has a sickness that stains his soul, causing him to feel unworthy, causing him to deny feelings. Then, when he is transported to an alternate reality where his feelings overwhelm him he acts like a complete SOB.
But to continue such loathing for another trilogy is just too much. The writing lacks any dynamics. It's just, "I hate myself I'm going to hurt people" "I'm not worthy of love I always kill those that are stupid enough to love me" Every single paragraph is just filled with attempts to synthesize and regurgitate new words to describe the same old self loathing. Not worth your time.
