Swrod of Truth is Wheel of Time with a writer who has much more obvious sexual hangups, plus objectivism.

In my stupid refusal to ever let a book series ever get the better of me, I've read all the S-word of Truth books.

Complete garbage, and I'm a worse person for reading them.

I used to have a problem with refusing to concede to terrible books, but then a friend of mine pointed out that the most books you'll ever be able to read in a lifetime is about 5,000 at most, so make sure as many of them are quality books as possible

My problem is I have three modes for reading: technical papers in my research (sub)field, long-ish articles and occasional books on civic society (eventually I'll get to Das Kapital), and complete and utter garbage sci-fi opera and fantasy. One third of my reading is garbage and I can't stop myself. I love eating out of the literature trash can, it's just sometimes I get something rotten.

a book I strongly recommend then is "The Stars, Like Dust" by Asimov which features the most incomprehensibly stupid ending of all time

here is all you need to know about sword of truth and terry "hannibal lecter" goodkind

quote:

"No war! No war! No war!" the people shouted as Richard led the men up the street at a dead run.

"Out of the way!" Richard yelled as he closed the distance. This was no time for subtlety or discussions: the success of their attack depended in large part on speed. "Get out of the way! This is your only warning! Get out of the way or die!"

"Stop the hate! Stop the hate!" the people chanted as they locked arms.

They had no idea how much hate was raging through Richard. He drew the Sword of Truth. The wrath of its magic didn't come out with it, but he had enough of his own. He slowed to a trot.

"Move!" Richard called as he bore down on the people.

A plump, curly-haired woman took a step out from the others. Her round face was red with anger as she screamed. "Stop the hate! No war! Stop the hate! No war!"

"Move or die!" Richard yelled as he picked up speed.

The red-faced woman shook her fleshy fist at Richard and his men, leading an angry chant. "Murderers! Murderers! Murderers!"

On his way past her, gritting his teeth as he screamed with the fury of the attack begun, Richard took a powerful swing, lopping off the woman's head and upraised arm. Strings of blood and gore splashed across the faces behind her even as some still chanted their empty words. The head and loose arm tumbled through the crowd. A man mad the mistake of reaching for Richard's weapon, and took the full weight of a charging thrust.

Men behind Richard hit the line of evil's guardians with unrestrained violence. People armed only with their hatred for moral clarity fell bloodied, terribly injured, and dead. The line of people collapsed before the merciless charge. Some of the people, screaming their contempt, used their fists to attack Richard's men. They were met with swift and deadly steel.

At the realization that their defense of the Imperial Order's brutality would actually result in consequences to themselves, the crowd began scattering in fright, screaming curses back at Richard and his men.

Hissing, hackles lifting, the chicken's head rose.

Kahlan pulled back.

Its claws digging into stiff dead flesh, the chicken slowly turned to face her. It cocked its head, making its comb flop, its wattles sway.

"Shoo," Kahlan heard herself whisper.

There wasn't enough light, and besides, the side of its beak was covered with gore, so she couldn't tell if it had the dark spot. But she didn't need to see it.

"Dear spirits, help me," she prayed under her breath.

The bird let out a slow chicken cackle. It sounded like a chicken, but in her heart she knew it wasn't. In that instant, she completely understood the concept of a chicken that was not a chicken. This looked like a chicken, like most of the Mud People's chickens. But this was no chicken.

This was evil manifest.

apparently in one of the books, the main character sculpts a statue so beautiful that it defeats communism. and some of the villains are based on bill and hillary clinton, propagators of communism

Suspicious: Apr 30, 2005; You know he's the villain, because he's got shifty eyes.

the superbly beautiful statue leaves onlookers in shock and awe, then the palpatine-like totally evil sorcerer (in goodkind's prose, there are no shades of gray, every noteworthy adversary is 100% evil) orders him to destroy it, and he does, and that sparks the objectivist revolution in the capital of the evil empire

Sad and Rabid Puppies, Sad being the original and Rabid being the technically distinct spin-off group headed by their close personal friend Vox Day to make them look a bit less terrible.

and I don't think so? they used him as an example of an author unfairly shunned by the sjws a lot though, but I don't remember much from him. I could just be forgetting everything before the recent time he insulted the artist who did his new book cover though.

For all Goodkind's faults, he's been smart enough to stay well away from any of the puppies bullshit. He has a p sweet gig going with his best-selling series, no sense is doing anything that might upset the solid gold apple cart.

I mean he did have one of the best Fantasy Artists for most of the original books. But yeah, don't treat your artists like poo poo.

It could be sexism. But Goodkind has been less then happy with the covers of his books ever since the death of Keith Parkinson who painted I think the majority of the first eleven of the Sword of Truth Series books.
