[TV] Sword of Truth coming to TV....

I think its not so much his writing, as his views towards his writing and so on that gets people so mad. Myself, I enjoyed reading the series until the last book, which was a huge let down. I also read one of his interviews, which caused me to lose a lot of respect for him, as he was very derogatory and uniformed in his opinions towards various groups.

I bought the first book this weekend, and am a few chapters in. So far, nothing all that awful to complain about.

Awww! why did you go and buy it? You shoulda at least borrowed it, or got it from a library! ;)

I'll offer a little advice..don't eat whilst you read it. :D But other than that, you'll enjoy it; because they're brilliant books. ;D

Ozzie, its possible to like an author's work and have a complete lack of respect for the man himself.  I haven't read the SoT but I can tell you from his bad rap in many circles I decided to go check out wether or not it was earned or just over blown.  I thought it was well earned, but that just one man's opinion.

 

A great example of great literary work from a writer I am diametrically opposed to and greatly disrespect is Aldous Huxley and the Brave New World.  He was a devoted eugenicist, and someone whose ideals and ideas I despise, disbelieve and argue against, but the book itself is an excellent read and a sound piece of fiction.  Orwell and 1984 is another example, it shows the weaknesses of his utopian socialism and how it can become a dystopia.  He was a socialist himself and again I greatly disagree with his ideas, although it helps that 1984 was written and forged out of his period of despair after seeing what happened to socialist Russia.

 

Simply put, its not his ideas that piss people off, its the overblown ego and attitude of derision and contempt for the genre he wirtes in.

Used bookstore, and I used the money from jefferson's wallet, so I'm not too torn up about it.  8)

will help you get the drop. Seduction, use it only when either Silenced or Stunned, I know the curse damage wow power leveling will kill the seduction effect, but that few seconds can save you up to 4-600 hp. Voidwalker Shield, great wow power leveling to use to cast longer spells or to use drain life or to get fear out.

4-You should have enough health or ways of getting health to make you go toe to toe with same level players(and wow gold possibly 1 or 2 lvls higher). Stamina and Intellect are your goals in armor. I still have lvl 43gloves and aion power leveling bracers, only cause I cant find good enough ones to replace them with, +13 Stamina +8 aion gold Intellect gloves, +14 stamina +8Intellect bracers. Sure armor would be nice but Ill sacrifice a little armor for health and mana.

5-Soulstones. Always cheap wow power leveling keep one on you. If you die, rez right away and get some distance. Hopefully when you buy wow power leveling died, the other player will have little health and/or mana. Giving you an edge, cause you'll rez with more health and mana in most cases. Waiting around for them to leave is not a good idea. Since everyone warcraft gold knows you can rez, they just heal up and get you when you do.
