Yeah, that is what really drives me up a tree about him. HyogaRott Send a noteboard - 11/09/2013 06:28:08 PM

I used to think he was just a mediocre writer and lumped his books in under the heading of mind numbing tripe that I might read when I had nothing better to do, until I stumbled accross his blog.

EGADS, his arrogance, unwarrented arrogance, just blew me away. When he started bragging about his weaknesses in plotting and world building as being strengths the level of spin caused me motion sickness and I haven't touched anything he has written or could possibly benefit from (his REALLY crappy TV show)since.

It would be funnier if Goodkind didn't apparently think he is a serious and significant writer. *NM* - 11/09/2013 06:19:53 PM 417 Views

His politics are more unusual than most authors', and his arrogance is more blatant, I guess. - 18/09/2013 05:46:54 PM 1373 Views
