- Scottish author Nigel Tranter based one of his historical novels (MacBeth the King) on the historical figure, showing Thorfinn as a half-brother of Macbeth, with a common mother. It also seeks to tie together the pilgrimages made to Rome by both, as one and the same.
- The novel King Hereafter by Dorothy Dunnett presents an alternate claim that Thorfinn and King Macbeth of Alba are actually one and the same. (A reading which supports the above claim that Thorfinn actually held seven earldoms within Alba.)

Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“Nothing more rapidly inclines a person to go into a monastery than reading a book on etiquette. There are so many trivial ways in which it is possible to commit some social sin.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“There is a note in the front of the volume saying that no public reading ... may be given without first getting the author’s permission. It ought to be made much more difficult to do than that.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
