I recal lots of joking about being paid by the word, even he himself made jokes about the length of his novels, when he was dying while trying to finish the last of the story he said Tor would have to invent a new binding method because he was going to fit it all into the last one, no matter what. Sadly he didn't have enough time but left enough worldbuilding behind.

I think they might have been some of my favorates in part because of the length tbh, I'm a very fast reader.

Lotr's time use and verbosity is nothing to me, I've read Robert Jordan's works.

I think this is the first time an opinion has triggered my gag reflex.

I did, and I feel the need to remind you Rand Al'Thor had espisodes of insanity and a disembodied homicidal voice in his head. Sure he saved the world, but I wouldn't want to be there during one of his fits trusting him not to accidently explode me.

Inflation was for a long time offset by a steep decline in the cost of delivering the product, and thats still true for the digital copies to a large extent, but with most AAA games blowing huge budgets on production publishers have been wanting to push the ceiling up for years now.

There is a quote that often makes it around the internet mis attributed to Ghandi says something along those lines. The most likely origin is speculated to be Indian philosopher Bara Dada in the mid-1920s : "Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians, you are not like him."
