Authors
Apparently i'm an original thinker. Haha. Took some stupid IQ test, it was way too easy only 60 questions. Results free coz apparently i'm smarter than most. What bull. Maybe i can figure out the stupid complex IQ questions thats why i cant figure out my life.
I'm good at solving problems apparently the stupid test doesn't say why i can solve my problems. Stupid fortune cookie advice. IQ tests are stupid half the people in this goddammed island have a higher IQ than half the world.
I thought it'd be some victory to have a high IQ but actually its garbage. I think the most credible IQ test i've taken to date is the Army one, which lasted 5-6 hrs. And some questions which cannot be answered unless your autistic and have your brain inclined in that way.
Ah yes i wanted to write about authors.
Eddings is crap but should be read once. The man has a wonderful set of unique characters that stops becoming unique after 3 different stories which involves the same set of characters with different names. He is your average american who has a formula hat works and sticks with it.
Though his earlier books that are not in the fantasy genre are a little less gripping, they have a unique set of characters. You cant say you like eddings unless you've read High Hunt and The Losers, as well as his fantasy works.
Eddings used to be my favourite author. Though there is one grand idea in his writing, which is that idea he has of prophecy and fates. That these are just guidelines, and we can still fuck up something even though its fated.
Another author whos good on Prophercy and Fates is Terry Goodkind, who i have no idea if hes a man or a woman. Because he writes like a woman, and the picture behind his book is his brother. He emulates Eddings idea that just because something is fated, does not make it so.
Terry Prachett who lives in Melbourne, who maybe i should have visited, has also made an interesting observation about life. That Million in one chances happen 9 times out of 10, this however does not explain why you did not win the lottery. Though i think you probably would if you didnt need the money, or if you bought a million tickets. Also Prachett is a Fantastic story teller, and while he has tons of easily liked characters, i find his unique view on life makes him the great author he is.
Anne Mccaffrey, looks like a woman you'd describe as an old bat or bulldog. She has written Tons of Sci-Fi, and i think definately one of the best authors in that genre. Though quality is often subjective (i think her writing has a certian amount of quality) she definately has quantity. One thing i CANNOT stand about her is that she endorses any fucking book, and its always the same comment. That woman is a buisness minded bulldog.
George R.R. Martin is also one of my favourite authors, His writing style is unique, and gripping. And hes not one of the countless masses that takes Tolkiens set of races and has his world in one of the countless clones of middle-earth. You'd have to read to understand. THOUGH the goddammed fool takes FOREVER to write a book. Quality is good but 3 years to write 1 book is just stupid. You'd have to read him once to become an addict, and u'd be like me waiting 3 years for one book thats been hardcover for a YEAR and i think i'll buy it NEXT YEAR, but because its soooo thick it'll probably be in 2 softcovers.
WHY IS THERE PIRACY? BECAUSE OF GREEDY PUBLISHING HOUSES AND RECORD LABELS, AND STUDIOS< AND AGENTS AND THE TON OF MIDDLE MEN MAKING MONEY OFF 1 PERSON!
ok. Who else do i Like GAIMAN! I think hes the best author today, original, smart, and wisely refuses to do sequals, haha much to my disapointment. His latest book Coraline i think wasn't that great but its a short story, a 2 hr read and i'm a slow reader.
IF YOU"RE ONE OF THE COUNTLESS PEOPLE I"VE BEEN GETTING TO READ GAIMAN.
Start with Neverwhere, or Stardust if you dont have time, those are his best books. actually maybe u should start with anansi boys and American gods. actually its very different. Stardust and Neverwhere is a fairy tale. American gods and anansi boys, is a little more real.It doesn't flit you into an imaginary world as much as the first 2. Read Sandman i think its fantastic, and there's another comic based on The character Lucifer Morningstar, called Lucifer which is really good as well.
I think one of his most daring claims in his book is that Angels and Gods have wants as well.
I have said this time and time again, for a man to write great books, comics, a TV series, and a movie, is no mean feat, and Mirrormask did not disapoint at all. Though the sound track a little abstract. Actually i think i'll leave u with a song from mirror mask and a cover of i think the carpenters.
If i want to write like anyone its Gaiman, but now is not the time for that. If you havent noticed i've been putting songs in my blog as well, consider it a new development.
