Is Vox Day a good writer? He says he is better than JRR Tolkien. Here is an excerpt of his book:

As a whole, no but I do like a Throne of Bones. The only other fiction of his that I read is the Summa Elvetica which includes a lot of his other short stories. The main story has some serious plot holes and the other ones are a mixed bag. He lifts a lot from Livy which isn't really a bad thing.

His non fiction is garbage and they age very badly because he uses a lot of 4chan speak.
