I can certainly understand that. I have to admit that I actually like his names. He and Tolkien invented honest-to-goodness languages, and hence their nomenclature feels real. I can't stand the big, unpronounceable names in most other authors' works (Flamblerideragiz the Wizard, and such rot). They just sit there and pull monstrosities out of their nether regions, and it shows.
Gary, do you like Japanese giant monster movies, such as Godzilla (28 films so far!)? I'm rediscovering them with my young daughter.
