Emerald Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hello, everyone! I thought I was slowly starting to understand hidden aspects of WoK, and then I come by here for the first time and realized that there is SO MUCH that I'm missing out on. It appears that I have a lot more in-depth reading to do, as I don't understand Brandon's works nearly as much as I thought I did. My name is Molly. I'm 24 and have been reading Brandon's books since about 2009. I haven't read everything of his, though, and a light browsing of the forums makes me want to go back and dig into everything all over again. I love it. I'm almost done with my 4th re-read of WoK, and will be moving on to WoR next. Those are probably my favorite books, and I want to refresh my memory of what happens in them before I really start trying to keep up with all of the experts here. I look forward to learning more about the cosmere and all you lovely folks. I'm sure the more I explore, the more questions I'll have. 11
Cheese United he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hello and welcome to the 17th Shard! It's nice to see someone else who didn't know as much as they thought they did until they came here! Have some upvotes.
Shlee Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Welcome and enjoy! All that depth is what makes me love these books SO much. I've re-read them more times than I can count and we still seem to be running across things I never noticed!
Guest Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Welcome! Have am upvote and a delicious cookie!

You remind me I need to do a Words of Radiance reread... I'm glad you could make it! Please feel free to ask me or anyone if you have any questions! We are more than happy to help.
Emerald Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks, guys! This seems like a place I'll enjoy hanging out, even when not discussing books. But Snoopy, from reading other welcome threads, I've seen warnings against accepting cookies from well-meaning strangers. Would that be you? =) 3
Lindel he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Snoopy, there isn't anyone stranger than you. Molly, your instinct to avoid the cookies is well founded. Welcome to the forum! Have some upvotes.

It's really the spikes you need to worry about. I mean, I would never do such a thing. 2
Frosted Flakes Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Did someone say reread? Sorry for the shameless plug. Welcome to the forums! 2
Emerald Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Did someone say reread? Sorry for the shameless plug. Welcome to the forums! Yes!! I've found your thread already. The "take note" feature on my kindle has been getting quite a work out. Although, I'm thinking about starting a little notebook for thoughts and passages of particular interest, sort of like Jasnah does. It's not that easy to type on a kindle, though that does have the added effect of making me think about what I'm actually writing down. I've thought about sharing my own notes, but I feel like there's a lot I don't quite understand yet, and I'm afraid my "notes" will reveal my ignorance on several matters. 1
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Who cares if it makes you seem ignorant. At least you will be able to be told that which you do not know. Oh and welcome to the forums and all that jazz. ( why is it 'jazz'? things like this have always confused me, much like how most social interactions between *shudders* humans confuse me. ) 1

Oh and welcome to the forums and all that jazz. ( why is it 'jazz'? things like this have always confused me, much like how most social interactions between *shudders* humans confuse me. ) Very true. I still want to finish rereading the Stormlight books at the very least before I start getting in too far over my head. Like I said in my first post, they're my favorite books and I'd love to get in to some theories surrounding that series. I'm sure there are still plenty of questions left unanswered that will be fun to research and discover. Question, though. How easy is it to go through WoB and find answers? It sounds like his interviews and Q&As offer a wealth of information, but I also feel like there's a lot there that might make it harder to find specific references.

Hope you enjoy your time here. As someone with absolutely no alternate agenda I can definitely say there is nothing suspicious about the offered cookies. If you check out Theoryland you'll find a great source of Brandons interviews that are all tagged and searchable, it's a really great source. 2
Emerald Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 I'll have to check that out when I get closer to reviewing and posting some of my own theories! Thanks.
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Welcome to 17th Shard! Be sure to check out the social groups/ clans sub section or the role playing section. It's pretty fun. Anyway, welcome to the forums!
BreathTaker he/him Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Welcome to the forums Emerald, we hope you enjoy it here.
