I just finished the Mistborn trilogy and thoroughly enjoyed it. Currently reading Elantris, then will move onto the Stormlight Archives.

Officially read all of Brandon Sanderson's works. Maaaan, the Stormlight Archives book is awesome! I started with Mistborn which was fuckin' A, Elantris was also pretty good.

Cartoon Man posted:17th shard wiki. Start with the entry for "cosmere" and click down from there. Essentially the Universe was watched over by a Mega-God named Adonalsium. Something happened (don't know what yet) and he was split in 16 shards. These shards were taken up by 16 men who could use their powers to create worlds and magic systems. That's insane. If he ever manages to write all of the books for all of these series, and then some sort of link for inbetween ... it'll take him a very long time.

arioch posted:But still an rear end in a top hat. Yup. Smug, cocky and pushes people into situations that they ordinarily wouldn't find themselves in. Leaders tend to have to be assholes at one point or another.

Mortanis posted:Sanderson is indeed a cool guy. I noticed he lived in the same city as a friend of mine, and mentioned it to my friend. Figuring he had nothing to lose and that Sanderson seemed pretty approachable, he bugged him on Reddit about getting some books signed. Sanderson agreed, and a few days later my friend had a signed Mistborn trilogy in his hand. Whoa. That is very cool! I wish I could get some of my books signed by the authors, but it's a one in a million chance of happening. Especially the first eds.

pakman posted:If that Mistborn movie gets made, I hope the jumping and fighting scenes are as awesome on screen as they were in my head while I was reading the series (they won't be because hollywood never fails to disappoint). I would rather Hollywood had no part in the movies, because they'll just do the bare minimum work for the movie, expecting to get a massive profit.

Just finished Alloy of Law & enjoyed it. Just a bit sad that it seemed so short, after I devoured all these pages.

Mahlertov Cocktail posted:I imagine he'd just say "Oh, I wrote it, and I kind of like signing things when I'm traveling. Here's my ID." If it's an American airport, the airport security will just taze him on sight. Just kidding! ... I hope that really doesn't happen.  I would think that after an explanation, he would be okay ... but a few employees wouldn't believe him.

I dunno, I've met some really dumb people at post offices (And other places) "Yes, I am x person. Look, here's my driver's licence! ... do I really have to go home and get my passport? Okay, you know what, I want to see your manager. You're the manager? Oh man. Fine!"

Vaevicti posted:Wow, early next year? Brandon is a freaking writing machine. Considering he has not even started it yet, he would have to have this finished by early summer to have a early 2012 release. Dude's been speaking to truck drivers. "Really? So you guys take meth just to keep up 80+ hour weeks? drat, I have to try this stuff!"

Is the 4th Alcatraz book the last one in the series? Because the ending left a lot of things unresolved. Sanderson!

cheese posted:Actually, that would kind of make sense. I could see Dalinar wishing for the strength to avenge his brother, only to have that strength be twisted into an endless war that he must always fight. But Dalinar was already renowned for being pretty kick rear end before all that happened though.

Dravs posted:Also in Warbreaker he is the old storyteller that they bring to the palace to recount their history. He pops up all over the place. He is even in Elantris so he has always been a part of the greater scheme of things for Sanderson. Oh my god, there is so much overlapping detail in all of the books. I'm so excited to see how this all pans out.

The Dark Wind posted:That might easily be the most epic thing I have ever heard. Good thing I have about a decade or so to read everything else he's ever written, but at the pace he writes at, trying to catch up might not actually be as simple as it sounds. I'm betting that some of us will die before he finishes. Scary thought.
