da.mammoth Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hi all! I've been around on the discord and coppermind for a bit. I'm rather intermittent in my presence and postings, though I do listen to the Shardcast religiously! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Gak! The DA has mammoths now? Welcome to the Shard! What's your favourite Sanderson book? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da.mammoth Posted December 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Oooh... Tough choice, but probably Mistborn era 1. Please don't be cruel and make me pick just ONE of the three! What's yours? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't be cruel and make me pick just ONE of the three! What's yours? Why would I make you choose? Everyone knows the first book was the best. At the moment, my favourite Sanderson book is The Emporer's Soul. In addition to all the standard Sanderson elements, like great characters and plot, it's beautifully put together. The story flows really well. And you can read it in a single sitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da.mammoth Posted December 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 I’d like to see someone read OB in a single sitting. Storming marathon read, that would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done that. I read all Sanderson books in a single sitting the first time through because I can't stand putting them down. Oathbringer took me longer than most do, longer even than Lord of the Rings. Roughly 4 and a half hours it took me of solid, uninterrupted reading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da.mammoth Posted December 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 I couldn't read that fast even if I tried! I think I spent at LEAST a week the first time I read OB, and I dedicated every spare moment to reading it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first new book I'd read in a few months, so I was starved for Sanderson content. That's only reason I made it through so fast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydam Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Welcome @da.mammoth! And Lord Ruler, @Invocation, OB in one sitting? I've been re-reading WoR for the past MONTH and I'm only halfway through it! Of course I only read in the bus, when going to work or back home, so that clearly makes a difference... Also, 15 hours ago, Ookla the Paragon said: Why would I make you choose? Everyone knows the first book was the best. Absolutely agree with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Absolutely agree with that. I mostly get my reading done in transit to/from work and right before bed as well. But there’s something nice about taking a long time with the books, right? The story lingers longer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daydam Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Agreed 100%. Besides, that way I get to save up some money before I spend it all on books... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da.mammoth Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 It doesn’t ever seem to matter how long I take to read a book... I always spend all my money on books! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
