An interesting author name I stumbled on

[Castle Pokemetroid]

Dick Pound?

That can't be real, can it? The title of the book is also ridiculous.

When I saw that, I couldn't help but laugh.

I note that the image on the front cover is a little bit of subtle commentary on the name, too.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Michael Moorcock is better.

I note that the image on the front cover is a little bit of subtle commentary on the name, too.

Here's a quote from one of the customer reviews:

"Throughout the text, Mr. Pound has proved himself both a master debater in the face of rather daunting issues regarding the Olympic Games, as well as a cunning linguist with his mastery of prose. The narrative itself deeply penetrates into the confluxated veil of secrecy that surrounds virtually every aspect of these Games. Furthermore, while some authors would pull out of exploring these issues when they become overly sensitive or otherwise uncomfortable, Mr. Pound shows both vigor and stamina in what fulminates in an overall satisfying climax.

Most importantly, however, Mr. Pound has demonstrated that it is more than possible to work as a writer while being apparently entirely devoid the faculties of irony."

That's also a subtle commentary on the writer's name. It's a rather ingenious review on the book itself, if nothing else.

That's terribly amusing. And full of tongue-in-cheek irony, no less.
