We do this shit for SCIENCE.

I posted in this FOR SCIENCE.

And now because you've all read it, it's peer-reviewed science. 

Woo-hoo!   

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I will mercilessly poke our engineer today.

FOR SCIENCE!

Results to follow.

I have made this thread in the hopes that there are other people who punish themselves needlessly, in the name of science,  and it isn't just me.



I downloaded the Twilight book series to read and see exactly how bad it was intended to be.

It's meh so far (page 44 in book 1).

Done that before.  It gets worse.

Also downloaded The Sword of Truth and the Eye Of Argon, for science.  Havent yet started on the former, fortunately.

Also reading Sarah Palin's "biography", for science.

I have the whole Sword of Truth accidentally.

I will be honest though -  there were a couple aspects I liked in the earlier books. If you manage somehow to drag your ass through the entire series though, you will be ready to crack the planet with your bare hands in rage. Probably for SCIENCE.

WHAT YOU ACCIDENTALLY THE WHOLE SWORD OF TRUTH FOR SCIENCE???


but yeah, I read only the first part, and I really enjoyed it. I did hear that the rest of the series just goes ooonnnn and ooonnn ...

the best "first book is good rest is crap" series I ever read was Ender's Game though. You can say about mr Scott Card what you want (things like nazi fundie creep asshole etc), but the first book in that series is simply fucking good.

My mother and sister are obsessed with the series. In fact, as far as I know, the only books my sister ever reads are Goodkind's. The whole 'Wizard's Rules' bits was cool, especially the first one. More could have been done with them. The later books all seem to be very much an analogy for Individualistic Freedom Fighters For Really Real Freedom fighting against An Evil Empire That Is Part Communist Part Oh Noes BIG GUVMINT. And yes these parts drag on forever. The love story between Richard and Kahlan gets incredibly tedious after a while (Goodkind resolves the one thing that makes Love Stories work way too early [i.e. the reason the two LOVERS cannot be together] in the first book this was the fact that Richard will lose his mind and free will entirely if he fucks Kahlan. Thereafter has to create ever more elaborate reasons that drag on for the entire series why they can't be together ).

Oh and there are plenty of other opportunities to play Spot The Randian Philosophy throughout. Slavery, Rape, Taxes, Rape, and then for a change a bit more Rape.

I would think swallowing swords would make your esophagus all scabbard inside.

Well, it does. It also tends to make you feel on edge.

I am considering a boob job.

FOR SCIENCE.

But more importantly, for the ability to go bra shopping without frustration.

WHICH IS LIKE A GODDAMN SCIENCE.
