Romodiius

My name is Romodiius. It is very nice to meet you all. I was recommended the Way of Kings by my cousin about 6 years ago but I have a difficult time reading. Not because I'm illiterate, mind you, but because I just don't like reading and would rather be playing video games or watching anime instead. So I bought the book and it sat in my closet collecting dust for years. About 3 years ago though, I met a co-worker who I was trying to get to know and had asked him what he liked to do in his spare time. He replied that he liked to read. I asked him what books, he said lots of books. I told him the story of the book I bought and never read because I just didn't like to read and mentioned that it was The Way of Kings. His ears perked up at the mention of it and a sly smile slid up one side of his face, even though he was obviously trying to hide it. He said he'd read that one. I asked if it was any good, since I just had it sitting around at home. He answered with something like "yeah, it's pretty good". And I could tell that I was creeping the guy out at this point as his answers were short and didn't offer much in the way of dialogue. Was it my breath? I didn't know. So I tapered off and ended the conversation, disregarding it as a failed attempt at being friendly. The next day he approached me and informed me that the book was offered on audible and I could listen to it if I didn't like the idea of reading. I thanked him for the suggestion, surprised that he was speaking to me, and told him that I would check it out. My commute to work was 2 hours each way. Yes, I commuted nearly 4 hours a day to get to work. So I considered this an opportunity to use the time wisely and instead of listening to endless hours of music I would listen to a book instead. That was what intelligent people did, right? Read books and stuff? Well I was feeling scholarly that day so I downloaded audible, subscribed for the monthly membership, and purchased the Way of Kings. 45 hours and 30 minutes later I was hooked, understandably. I have since bought all of the Cosmere books on Kindle, Audible, and some paper books for good measure. Now that Rhythm of War is released I am reading again the Stormlight Archive from the beginning (currently in the middle of Words of Radiance) and I am here to learn more about the Cosmere, but also about Brandon Sanderson as well. It is my goal to one day create a fan-made 3D animated movie of The Way of Kings. Well, more like an animated series, as I am currently teaching myself software development and 3D animation. So that's why I am here. I want to get it right. I want to do the book justice if I ever get to the point that I can actually make something of my studies. And this forum will help me get there.
