I recall when almost everyone was reading his books. I tried to start on one. Not only was it 2-3 inches thick, but there were few pictures. I never did get through a book of his. Never took the time.
I think he was commissioned to write the book for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, but not the II or III. Probably realized the story stunk and wanted to get out.
His name came up the other day. That was right before I got my heart ripped out, kicked around, smothered in the dirt, and then kicked again. I tried to pull a poker face to hide the pain, but I guess it didn't go so well.

I could never get past the first chapter or so of a Terry Brooks novel either. Oh well.
