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

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.

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. 90s Cringe Rock has issued a correction as of 21:20 on Aug 17, 2018 |

It's either about magic or a world-building. I don't do either. why do I know this

But yeah, don't treat your artists like poo poo. FMguru posted: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. This, also I suspect alot of objectivists are just too narcissistic to hang with the MRA's.
