Have you read any Sword of Truth books lately?
I quit at the one where Richard pulled himself up by his bootstraps so goddamn hard that he cured the world of communism and laziness, specifically by carving a really good statue.

Threw that book across the room and wondered how I'd even made it that far in the series.
