I remember thinking "I don't think I want to read this series anymore" and later "I don't want to read his stuff anymore" and later still "I don't want to remember his stuff anymore" and now I cringe a little seeing his name mentioned.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
From my Googling, I apparently got out before things got REALLY troubling. But even the articles about the worst of them make me wish for brain bleach.

I don’t think I even want to know how troubling things got. I enjoyed one or two of his series but doubt I can reread them now. And even then remember the Xanth series as like “wait, what the…”

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Yes, I did enjoy the wordplay in his books, and also that a woman could be king, not queen, but then PROBLEMS. Which are probably signaled by the self centered nature of Piers Anthony (if you say it real fast) forming the word Xanth.

I'm glad Consuela was here to give her opinion of The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. I read those Donaldson books when I was working through the entire fantasy & science fiction section of my small town library. If anyone told me those were their favorite books, I would consider that a giant red flag and block them in real life. A world of no.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is $1.99 on Amazon in case you haven't read it (I must confess that I haven't ... yet).

Our wings are not tired.
I did enjoy that one, Todd.

not your mom's socks.
Friends, a favor: Say I'm actually taking the much-much-much-needed vacation. Rec me a book you think I'd like?
