Haha, I liked the part where he thinks Stephen King is a good author!

Hey at least he's better than Stephenie Meyer :P

I respect the fact that she writes such flagrantly retarded bullshit about teenage vampires that anyone who possesses any sense of taste will be instantly put off. Stephen King, on the other hand, likes to sucker someone in with four awesome books only to kick the reader in the balls after thousands and thousands of pages by revealing that he was writing a bunch of silly metafiction about himself all along.

Ohoho, personal pain, the betrayal stings all the more! I am not a fan and so am ambivilant but I can relate, I am very bitter about the time I wasted on the Wheel of Time. In the later half of the series, I keep hoping the NEXT book would make it all better by returning to form only to have it get progressively worse... and yet like some drugged up addict, I kept returning for one more even as it was slowly killing me.
I finally stopped after his death and now I don't know what to think about the new books... I have not touch them, but the taste still linger in my mouth, bitter, decayed and yet with its own attraction in glorious death.

Ah, so you do understand! Yeah, my experience with The Dark Tower was quite like that, although I pushed through and finished it since there's only seven books as opposed to the hundreds or so that comprise The Wheel of Time. And to King's credit, he did manage to write a decent last book somehow, but he's still an ass!
