MTV has decided to turn Terry Brooks' Shannara series into a television series and I was reading an article about the guy they'd gotten to play the druid Allanon. And like an idiot, I thought reading the comments would be a good idea. Nope. The first comment actually about the series (and not about the hottie actor LOL) said something about 'Highest selling fantasy series? I've never heard of it'. And that kind of set me off. Maybe Google before you say stupid things?
Then came the comments pretty much accusing Terry Brooks of ripping off GRRM and I wanted to jump through the internet and wring necks.
Anyway... uh, how's the weather? :)
Seriously though. I've read excerpts and her (E. L. James) writing is just horrid. The words 'down there' shouldn't ever be used in an erotica novel to describe someone's lady parts. Just sayin'.
Hah! You can thank Warren for that little gem. He tweeted a picture last night and lemme tell ya, I about fell out of my chair. Had to make an icon first thing this morning. (Seriously though, go check out the full version, he's not ever looked better, I swear.)
