- 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:
“How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“After which you led me to water
And bade me drink, which I did, owing to your kindness.
You would not let me out for two days and three nights,
Bringing me books bound in wild thyme and scented wild grasses
As if reading had any interest for me ...”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
