I think you're forgetting...

Books are life. @oragne hasn't lived yet.

I'm not new.

But @oragne is, and he doesn't want to introduce himself, so I will.

 

He has not read anything Sanderson, and is not even a reader. A crime, I know. 

He joined the Shard because I told him to. I need all your help to actually convince him to read stuff, because what worked with @LordHathsin_Surviv0r isn't working with him.

You should read stuff

Particularly cosmere stuff

Trust me

Challenge accepted. Would you like and avalanche of book recs? I have a ton, and they're not (all) Brandons stuff.

Haha

ARE YOU ASKING ME TO WAIT
ON THE BEST BOOK/BOOK SERIES/BOOK UNIVERSE EVER MADE?

I've read the best book series ever made so I am insulted

On 7/3/2025 at 11:31 PM, KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren said:

I'm telling him to start with Skyward because he won't understand Mistborn. He just doesn't have the skills to understand stuff like what aristocracy means nor the skills to infer what it means.

You should at least know what aristocracy is  

Also how do you never read a single book 
This is supremely vexing   

GAHHHH I cannot imagine. Books are my LIFE. I literally go crazy without access to a library or something.

Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien. 

Excellent books, excellent movies. I could read or watch only this for the rest of my life and I'd be happy.

THE BIGGEST BOOM (I think I was legit crying (at least inside) when that happened)

Easily. I love how christopher paolini did it.

I wrote a whole mini-essay on it.

 

Wayne is easy best cosmere character.
