Hello new friends!

Hi there gang- I'm new!

I go by erude, and I'm excited to be joining the forums. I just finished up my last major novel in the Cosmere this week (Oathbringer) and I finally feel confident in joining fan stuff without being majorly spoiled, even if I still need to get my hands on White Sand to be completely Cosmere-caught-up. Elantris was my first Sanderson novel and I've been reading his works on and off for probably 2 years or so. Besides Brandon, I love all kinds of reading, whether it's classics, fun wacky postmodern shenanigans, nonfiction, or whatever sounds interesting. 

Outside of reading I really enjoy playing and listening to music from a variety of sources so if that's your jam I'm always around to chat! I study how to engineer rockets and other space stuff during the year, and work on that sort of thing in the summer. In between that chaos I love going on hikes and spending time outside. I love chatting with people so feel free to hit me up whenever. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and learning more about the Cosmere!

 

Cheers,

erude

Oh tough tough! Without going into OB spoilers, I think Dalinar is my current favorite main character. Nazh is a favorite of mine that I'd like to see more of. What about you?

OB spoilers are OK these days.

Hmm, I would say that my favorite Sanderson work is probably The Way of Kings. Kaladin's perseverence in Bridge Four helped me a ton in real life, and it was an outstanding intro to a series that manages to balance excellent worldbuilding with actual nuanced characterization! Big hype. 

My favorite non-Sanderson work is probably Swann's Way by Marcel Proust. It's just gorgeous prose and reflective in a way that I adore.

What about you?

Hey Erude. Welcome to the shard! 
I started my Cosmere journey with Elantris too. My favourite character is kaladin followed very closely by Dalinar. 
OB is my favourite book till date. 
If you had a chance to visit/live on one shardworld, which one will you choose?

Awesome!! Well, Sel is probably the safest choice as far as I can tell, but I think I'd probably go ahead and pick Scadrial (Era 2) for a balance of awesomeness and not-going-to-die-horribly (hopefully).

What's your fav genre (books & music)? and fav artist/band?

Favorite genre of books is really fluid for me, because I usually read for about a year of one, and then get really attracted by another, and flip flop. Generally I meander between my personal trinity of classic novels, biographies, and speculative fiction. For music, I would say funk/jazz music or inspired as such! My favorite artist is Jacob Collier by far, his music is ridiculously diverse, virtuosic, and beautiful. I recommend any of his music from the last 2 years.

I would choose Nalthis because I think it is most stable.

Although I would definitely want to visit Roshar.
