Everything has a beginning

Thanks to the guys over at westeros.org I decided to read the whole Sword of Truth Saga by the magnificent author Terry Goodkind. What you don't know him? Pity you! He is a New York Times Bestseller Author and - according to some - has written the best novels in the Fantasy genre.
Right now I am going to order his first book Wizard's First Rule. Apparently it is about a guy called Richard who is a serious ass-kicker. He has to learn a secret rule in order to beat the crap out of lots of really mean guys to safe three nations and to get 77 virgins.

I will check amazon.de/co.uk and the Book Depository for this bestseller. It shouldn't take long. So stay with me, we are sure in for a wild ride.

PS: English is not my native language. So forgive me for all failures you might encounter. It would be most appreciated if you could correct them, without mocking me. If you mock me, I will make sure that that Richard hunts you down. You should be afraid. Seriously. From what I've heard, even GREGOR is no match for this guy. Watch out!

UPDATE: Just borrowed the book from a friend. WTF the cover painting looks sooo bad. Some guy who is holding a sword in his hand, while talking to a nice-dressed girl. Did I mention that he is riding a dragon? A red, ugly dragon? Somehow the guy (I think it is Richard) looks like he is on drugs, well maybe that would explain why there is also another person riding behind him and an old man watchting the whole scene. Richard is delusional. That, or the cover artist just fucked up.

Oh yeah - I think I am not going to enjoy my future. Wohoo.
