Thomas Covenant was one of those popular series I was never able to get into (a couple of others were Abercrombie's and Steven Erikson's). I finished Lord Foul's Bane some 15 years ago or so, but didn't like the protagonist (he's not even an anti-hero, he's just an ass, imho, and not an interesting ass at that. Yep, I know that was kind of the whole point, but not my cuppa) and never read more books. The Mirror was better (I agree about gratuitous scenes, they were pretty weird. And I'm no prude).
