i know i know you should never open a "hate" group on facebook, i did so anyway a few years ago after one of his books took two hours of my life that i will never get back.
here is the fb url https://www.facebook.com/groups/40433509545/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/40433509545/
i know that this is not very HN, but neither is a "xx books ever entrepreneur should read" linkbaitblogpost on the front page.
here my favorite quotes:
"porn movies has better plot than his books"
"He mixes a couple of diff books in one (but the other two arent his :-)"
"Reminds me something that could be called langue de bois, a suspicious rhetoric that is targeted towards desire of happiness. Too good to be true, to abstract to be examined, too vague to be accomplished. I guess the speeches of early USSR politics could be depicted as a same type langue de bois, that were talking about a perfect society in a loud tone of sentiments and deep emotionality, but created nothing more than utopian abortion."
"in my opinion people who actually like Paulo Coelho have never ever read a real book and are unable to enjoy literature. Paulo Coelho = scary new age pseudo babble for lost middle class brats. It is good news for Paulo Coelho's bank account the world is full of those."
- ramblerman 14y agoIt's fair enough to not like a book. I didn't really care for it either. When you express this level of hate for something however, I'd venture to say it's more about yourself than you might think. You talk about 2 hours of your life wasted, yet your still burning energy in hating it, and forming a group of all things.
- franze 14y agoi know i know nonetheless i made an exception for that guy. if everyone (according to bestseller lists and the linked blogpost above) is an awe of that guy, somebody has to point out "that the king has no clothes" (reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperors_New_Clothes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperors_New_Clothes )
