Goodkind

I can't decide if my dislike is greater for the books of Terry Goodkind or Robert Jordan. On the one hand, Jordan's started out quite well before the later books made me feel like I was wasting a lot of time. Goodkind's started out piss-poor, so I didn't get any further. I now have good reason to assign the greater dislike to Goodkind, he is a fan of Ayn Rand and his novels are designed to promote Objectivist philosophy.

Sandstorm reviews collects a series of parodies of Goodkind, many in the form of mashups with more capable writers. Having cleansed my brain of Goodkind as best as I could, it is really only the parodies of other authors that I found funny. This one on R Scott Bakker is great, as in this one on Robert Jordan.
