I'm happy that you enjoy them, though.

I'm afraid you misunderstood my post - I was actually trying to convey how bad of a writer I thought Goodkind is, and the way he writes and the way women are treated in SoT is very similar IMHO.
Actually, I read the Gor novels long ago when I was young. At the time I thought he wrote a lot like Edgar Rice Burroughs and I enjoyed the first couple of books, until the tone of the books took a hard misogynist turn. Even as a teenage boy in the 60's I was repelled. Goodkind isn't as overt as Norman, but the women still are treated very badly in his series.
Sorry I was unclear in my original post.
