You assume I care that much. I enjoy pointing out the absurdness of this author. Beqi Send a noteboard - 02/08/2011 07:02:42 PM
I mean, if writing it first means everyone else is a derivative rip-off, then Jordan ripped off Goodkind by using that exact same story line for Egwene in KoD.

Plainly, by your logic, and the pretensions of Tom, whose eloquence, so hard-won in his smarter-than-thou book choices, appears to have deserted him in this thread, Jordancould only have stolen his idea from Goodkind. Plainly, he is right about his tremendous impact.


He used the same story line several times. I never once was awed or inspired by the writing.
You weren't. I wasn't. Doesn't mean no one else is. Meanwhile the guy whose signature has a picture of Stalin can descend into spewing profanity in lieu of articulating any genuine criticism, about one of the most blatantly anti-communist works of fiction to reach a wide audience, and we're NOT supposed to think that maybe Goodkind has point about his critics?

However absurd his beliefs, he certainly articulates them with greater coherence and credibility than any of his critics in this thread.


Oh why I quit. Maybe that was when I stopped taking acid. I woke up and realized this shit book didn't deserve my hard earned money. Then I took a look at how the author portrayed himself to the world. And decided that his weak tea stories didn't deserve my time wasted on them anymore.

book 6? Was that the second or third time Ricky got kidnapped/changed his captors way of thinking? - 02/08/2011 07:08:45 AM 1607 Views
But then you have to retract the rip-off assertion - 02/08/2011 01:58:28 PM 1629 Views
Er. You didn't answer her question: Why was Book 6 so groundbreaking? - 02/08/2011 02:07:18 PM 1576 Views
That was just a joke about her giving up the series. I didn't even recall which one was book 6 - 02/08/2011 02:28:06 PM 1658 Views
Derp. Sorry, it was too early in the morning for subtle humor. - 02/08/2011 07:17:23 PM 1549 Views
It's funny, though, because you hit the nail on the head with your random choice of number. - 02/08/2011 08:11:58 PM 1605 Views
I agree with all that - 03/08/2011 12:15:15 AM 1602 Views
Isn't that the one where Richard carves a statue that is so rad it inspires a rebellion? - 03/08/2011 12:02:10 PM 1618 Views
