- 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:
“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.”
—Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
“We live in a highly industrialized society and every member of the Black nation must be as academically and technologically developed as possible. To wage a revolution, we need competent teachers, doctors, nurses, electronics experts, chemists, biologists, physicists, political scientists, and so on and so forth. Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it.”
—Frances Beale, African American feminist and civil rights activist. The Black Woman, ch. 14 (1970)
