I've decided to tackle WoT after coming to Brandon First. I had of course heard of RJ's epic series and the first I had ever heard of Brandon was when he was selected to finish the series. But after all of the books are released in WoT I'll probably start churning through them at an easy pace, probably getting them from the library.

Sounds like the core kernel of advice is "you'll want to finish all the books." :-)

I randomly chose a Warbreaker paperback off the shelf, so I had no clue about the online publishing project until I looked Brandon up after I finished reading. Probably the best part for me from that perspective was to view the manuscript with the changes highlighted. I found it very fascinating to see how he changed the work between drafts. Combine that with the annotations (which are really neat) and you get a pretty good view inside the thinking and process of a good writer. A fan's dream!

I just started reading Brandon's works this year. I've read Elantris and Warbreaker and am currently half way through Mistborn. I have the rest of the Mistborn "trilogy" and the Way of Kings on the shelf, and I hope to get them all read this yar (and perhaps Alloy of Law too). Out in the real world I'm a twenty-something married man and father to an infant. I do some rather boring work in an interesting place.
