I really cannot stand Goodkind's holier-then-thou attitude, he seems to think that because his books have twenty page tirades on objectivism, that he is somehow a god. And the sucess of his books astounds me, especially since he isn't a very good writer. I would actually have said “a is for asshole,” as in pompous asshole.

How young do they want them to be? As I understand it these girls are aged from six to ten! Life's weird. That’s the neatest link between two stories I have EVER seen.

WTF does that mean? That has to be the term of the day, or a really good name for a band. I was not much interested in Goodkind for starters, but that attitude definitely alienates me from bothering. I will take the world-building, magic worlds with little plot any day. I saw the knitters' story, and I did make do a "say what" when I saw it. So, keep the videogamers, toss out the quiet, well behaved, doing something constructive knitters. I think I saw a line, could have been in the article, or someone blogging about it, that part of kicking them out was because they were not "experiencing the library." Again, WTF is that supposed to mean. I guess they are worried about their "weirdo cultural diversity?" I mean, what can be more weird than a bunch of girls actually knitting when they could be kicking ass on Halo 3 or DDR? Best, and keep on blogging. “Weirdo cultural diversity? WTF does that mean?
