Brightness Enna Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 So... my sister is taking an American Lit class and needed to stop at the library to find a book. I asked her what the criteria were, and apparently it's just "the author has to have been born in America" or something like that. So of course I suggest Sanderson. She gets that a lot, though, and wasn't affected. It was only after we went into the library and she couldn't find the Louis L'Amour book she wanted (aside: HOW?! THeRE aRe LiKE a mILlioN) that she asked me if I would buy her a Twix bar if she read Mistborn. I told her absolutely. We went to the store and I got her a fancy yogurt instead but she still had a treat. She is now reading Mistborn for a school project. I did tell her how distinctive the setting and plot and characters and other symbols were, though, and how easy an artistic project could be. I love my sister. She is willing to give up hundreds of hours of her time for a little Twix. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old 8th grade english teacher (who has taught three of my siblings so far, so we have an excellent relationship) was looking for a dystopian novel to study in her class. She wanted to read Hunger Games, but my mom had a huge problem with the amount of violence in that book. So she tried to get her to read Mistborn instead. My old teacher didn't go for it . But hey, we tried. Good thing you succeeded on this one! On that note, you know you're a Sanderfan when you've got your mom and no less than five siblings reading the guy's books, not to mention an uncle or two (JK the uncle was the one who introduced me in the first place). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm a Sanderfan when I feel inadequate because I've only managed to convince two people to start reading Sanderson: my mom (just the Legion novellas and Reckoners so far, though she hasn't finished Calamity yet), and a nice lady who used to be my neighbor when I lived in Ohio (I got her to buy a copy of Steelheart like a year or more ago, but I don't know if she's even finished reading it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brightness Enna Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Or when there's a question about metaphors on a final. They gave a little example, and I answered the true/false question, then wrote off to the side: "That's a simile. David thinks he's bad at metaphors but he's actually bad at similes. Ex: "it was like one lumberjack had eaten a lumberjack to make one very big lumberjack".*" I cited the Reckoners series at the asterisk. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverblade5 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 When you realize 17th Shard is cancer. ... Wait! Hold your tomatoes! Let me explain! 17th Shard leads to the uncontrollable multiplication of tabs, when browsing different theories. Hence, it is cancer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king of nowhere Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 When one of your coworkers enters into your office shouting "colors! colors!" and your first reaction is wondering if he's a nalthian worldhopper. Alas, nothing so spectacular. As one of the enterprise chemists, I am in charge of preparing dyes under 5 grams of wheight, and so he was just asking me to make a color. Still, I tried to tell him about nalthis. I don't think I was much convincing, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
