The Book Thread Book • Page 73

omg keep us updated! I loved this book but fuck does it hurt

 

It's definitely worth it. And, yeah, the physical aspects are experience enhancing; but the story is very interesting and creepy.

 

at around page 700 of The Way of Kings and have been loving it so far. Every Kaladin chapter is such a joy to read. Are the rest of the books of the same quality?

 

I say this with 100% sincerity: they're even better by a large margin.

 

When you finish WoK you probably won't agree but the books progressively get better. Although admittedly I preferred Way of Kings to Words of Radiance. Oathbringer was an absolute avalanche.

 

I'll echo that they continue to get better

 

Well I guess I wont be reading authority next, sounds like I should jump straight into book 2

 

Is this your first Cosmere book or have you read Mistborn? I wish I could read these books again for the first time.

 

I wish I could read The Hero of Ages for the first time again

 

That whole Mistborn trilogy was the greatest gutpunch of my life.

 

First Brandon Sanderson Novel tbh. I’m a massive fan of massive sprawling epic which is why I jumped straight into way of kings. I’ll 100% be doing the rest of the cosmere books

 

Im really excited to eventually get to Mistborn + Warbreaker but i just have a massive back log of books right now so itll be a while lol. Still gotta finish up Way of Kings, then do the last 2 book in the southern reach trilogy, The Familiar vol 5 (which ive been too afraid of reading ever since the series was cancelled) and the other two Stormlight Archive novels. This doesnt even include the literal hundreds of comics books i want to read at all times. THERES JUST TOO MUCH TO READ.

 

Today a friend of mine sent me a message with a book recommendation to check out, and I just wanted to say "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY BOOKS I NEED TO READ BEFORE I LOOK AT THIS ONE!".

 

Good thing is that these are constant books and his release schedule is insane. Thing with Sanderson is about 80% of the way through he just hits you with so much epic adventure and lore that you need to read the rest.

My to be read pile is ridiculous too and I keep adding to it thinking I'll do it all one day but I know I won't....

 

damn I need to get back on Mistborn. I flatlined there and haven't touched it in weeks. Not a condemnation of the book, which is fantastic, just sort of where my life is right now

 

I reread everything then got to the Wax and Wayne books and had to take a break .blasting though Paul Tremblay right now. A Head Full of Ghosts is fantastic .

 

part 1 of Words of Radiance has me SHOOK

 

Always good to see a bit of Sanderson love.

 

The last eight hours of the audiobook I paced in a circle stress eating.

 

The Secret Teachings of All Ages and The Corpus Hermeticum. Sort of using the former as a companion piece for the latter. Really mind blowing stuff but not for everyone - this is probably the third time I've come back to these pieces to try and read them and it's finally clicking ngl experiencing dmt really helped with that. I have Carl Jung's Symbols of Transformation on the backburner as well, I'm sort of bouncing between these books as needed.

 

Bae is great
