I havent read that one, but I have read some of his other books. Its been a long time since i read them but I liked "Falketårnet" and "Psalm at journeys end". From what i heard about Tales of protection, the story is supposed to continue in "Tales of protection 2", but its been 8 years since he...

Hehe. Sorry but I suspect that outside of Ibsen and Hamsun very little of norwegian literature is translated.

I suggest swords or pistols at dawn.

I would not say obsessed but i find him and his fanbase to be very funny(and somewhat disturbing). Someone recently told me about that forum parody and it rekindled my interest in him.

Well i must say that "the chicken that is not a chicken" is one of the best examples i have seen, but its all fairly representative. The books are for one thing full of SM sex, detailed torture scenes, rape, leather clad ladies and barbed phalluses(if i remember right there is a scene where the...

Yes it is highly contagious and unfortunately there is no known cure. The admin of those forums will delete any post that is even slightly critical of Goodkinds writing(and i suspect ban the user posting it). So there is noone keeping the cultlike worshipping of the author in check. The...

I'm sorry but if its any comfort i'm also afflicted by that particular disease. To keep you interested I found another little gem for you.

If you think these quotes are amusing you might also like the quotes i posted from a legendary Goodkind interview: http://www.bookandreader.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7776. The interview has later been deleted from the official site for obvious reasons, and the admin of his site does his...

He does seem to have that effect on a lot of people. I find the whole Goodkind phenomenon very amusing. As you can see from his writing and from his comments in various interviews he is truly one of a kind. One of the most interesting things about this author is that he and his cultlike fans...

It didnt mean to scare anyone from reading fantasy, but i just think he is funny. He claims his books are about "the noble human spirit", yet his perfect hero kicks in the teeth of a 8 year old girl and cuts off her tongue in the process. The perfect father.

I found Zidane to be one of the better players in the french attack. He pretty much set up all the chances france had. Henry, as usual for the national side is only a shadow of what he is for Arsenal. Vieira pretty much did nothing at all, but he might not find his place when he has Makelele...

I decided to post a few more quotes from the Genious that is Goodkind. This time from his books. On Chickens(From Soul of the Fire): Its hard to be a Sister of the Dark. (From Stone of Tears) On children and how teach them the error if their ways. (From Wizards first rule) On the...

If you look closely you might also notice some very small differences in the marketing effort/strategy to sell Harry Potter vs for instance the latest Salman Rushdie book.

Well they are marketed for children and you can find them in the childrens book section of the bookstore so it should not really come as a surprise.

Much like Kenny Shovel i find this an almost impossible question to answer as my favourites change all the time. So instead of calling them my favourites i'll just mention some of the bands and albums that has made the biggest impressions on me over time. Fav band(s)? Neil Young, Black...

I was looking forward to checking USA today, as its a team i dont really know much about. I dont put too much trust in the rankings but USA is nr 5 on the fifa rankings so i thought they would have something to show for it. But today they were totally outclassed by the Czechs. It looks good for...

I havent actually read the comic book so i cant compare, but i thought the movie was pretty good for a action flick. But having seen how they butchered The league of Extraordinary Gentlemen i can only imagine what they did to V for Vendetta.

Yes argentina is the only team that has looked likely to win so far, though they seemed to get a bit too arrogant in the 2nd half. But maradona certainly looked pleased with their effort. Holland also looked good in attack, but their defense was weak. I feel a bit sorry for ivory coast as...

Tbh Owen wasnt doing much at that time, so i can understand why Sven took him off. And the 4-5-1 formation could have worked if the midfield had done what they are supposed to in this formation. Quite frankly the entire english midfield was content to stay put in the center and if they dont make...

Hopefully you will see one tonight when argentina plays.
