Yeah, I've seen quotes by Paolini. It's one thing to be totally full of yourself and be a talented writer. It's another thing all together to be totally full of ...

I love to watch people and try to make a life from them. Ye, I do that. Until they turn around and see me staring. Then I go red and ...

I know, people seem to discredit it because it's an easy-to-read "children's" book. The amount of depth and history that has gone into that world is incredible. Of course, in ...

Romance novels. I don't read them, but I agree. I don't mind if there is a love story that serves as a sub-plot, but if that's the whole thing... There's ...

Yes, but alas, that depends on how they've made their money. Writing a medicore, cliched novel and getting it published only beause your parents own a publishing company, then no ...

Yes, the only reason he got published initially was because his family owned a publishing company. The only reason he became mass-published was because during his marketing tour he met ...

It's not just the plot of the fourth Star Wars film he copied, apparently (I say apparently as I haven't read it) he copied the fifth one as well, for ...

Yes, the songs are a tad annoying. I don't like poetry at the best of times, but elven poetry... *shudders* The thing is, I feel guilty if I haven't read ...
