I mean, why would someone give up their time and spend effort to help a hospital? Obviously since he wouldn't do it, nobody could possibly ever do it.
The sheer amount of egocentrism is horrifying to watch.

God I am so fucking bothered by this jackass in particular taking pieces of nerd culture he doesn't understand and plastering it elsewhere. 'Grok' is a term I used to use all the time (and I always explained it with the book quote 'to drink fully', if pressed).
I am still salty about him using Culture ship names, too- and that entire universe was techno-anarchist with deep democratic underpinnings, about as anti-capitalist as you can get, how did he miss that?
@mcnees I've only read about half of the books on that list, but I did happen to read Jack of Shadows this very morning for the first time ever (for entirely unrelated reasons, I just somehow missed it when reading his other stuff, decided it seemed like a good read for the new year).
Not bad, but nowhere near Lord of Light, or Creatures of Light and Darkness (he sure did enjoy writing about that theme, though).
