    if nutjobs like he and Dean Koontz can get published and sell books then that is a weight off my shoulders

    are you writing a book shank?

    Or are you running a program to help retarded kids get published and that interview gives you hope for the industry?

    yes and yes

    In particular, Goodkind is an advocate of technology and an admirer of Ayn Rand, the author of "The Fountainhead." Goodkind considers her to be the most important philosopher since Aristotle.

    You know that part of your brain that regulates emotion? It was burned out a long, long time by men like Goodkind.

    The satiny black dress that hugged her curves looked to be either high fashion or oddly out of time and place–he couldn’t quite decide which–as did the long, deep green wrap draped over her shoulders. Her luxuriant fall of soft, summer-blond hair could have gone either way as well.

    Alex figured that she had to be on her way to the exclusive jewelry store that was the anchor of the upscale Regent Center across the street. The slanted glass facade was just visible beyond the shade of ash and linden trees spread across the broad grounds separating the upscale shops from Regent Boulevard.

    Black satin dress, green wrap, long blonde hair - she must be going to the jewelry store!

    "Her hair could have gone either way as well"?

    Is that...a euphamism about her sexuality? What the fuck does that even mean?

    More importantly, who the fuck even likes Terry Goodkind books now anyway?

    God, my eyebrow spasm has come back now. Thanks a lot, Terry Goodkind...
