Now before you all get upset, 
, I only read his first three in the Sword of Truth series. As well as his one short story, which I read in an anthology last week or so.
The thing is, I find him very readable. As a person, well, I'm trying not to judge. And apparently he gets preachy in the rest of his Sword of Truth books. So that would probably bring my opinion down some, even if I agree with what he's preaching about. But his writing keeps me interested. His characters aren't always the best, but they're good enough. I always want to keep turning the page, which is more than I can say for a lot of authors who are pimped on this board.
Am I alone in this? Is the preachiness what makes people not want to read him, or is it his... weird attitude?

I actually kind of like Terry Goodkind's writing.

Grocery shopping on an empty stomach is a bad thing, supposedly.

I liked him just fine for the first few books, too.

Yeah, Faith of the Fallen is actually not bad as pure political propaganda.

I've read his books, without often having to wrestle my way through.
