New to Sanderson and Forum

[Koloss]

Yup, I'm new. Never heard of Sanderson until... last year? After repeated recommendation and high remarks from my lovely girlfriend, I finally picked up this thing called 'a book'. Specifically, this pillow-sized thing called 'The Way of Kings'. I opened it to check the page numbers and font size, then put it back on the library shelf. 

 

A few weeks ago I bought the Mistborn boxset and The Emperor's Soul from good o' B&N on 5th. 

 

I've been ver-y sleep deprived ever since. 

 

I'm surprised this username isn't in use yet. Probably because it's not much of a ...favorable, image to most. Except me.

 Welcome! Avoid the cookies and have an upvote. Have you gotten around to reading twok?

Welcome! I can sympathize with the sleep deprivation. Somehow all my self control disappears when there is the possibility of "one more chapter."

You will come back to it. Even as big as it is. Look at it this way, it is smaller than the first Mistborn trilogy. I just reread Words of Radiants in about 1 (sleep deprived) month.

I still need to reread, but it took me three weeks to read the Way of Kings, and the day I finished, I started Words of Radiance. I finished in 8 days. During the school year. 

Any who, welcome to the Shard! Don't accept any food offered to you, especially cookies, or anything by the Dark Alley. But anything from someone with 'Surgefinder' or 'Knight of the Cosmere' should be OK. That being said, have a slice of Chouta! Also, if you are wondering what the Surgefinders are, they are a group of people, or, well, here's a link to the Surgefinder's official fourm if you want to know about it. And we are desperately needing members! As for the Knights of the Cosmere, that is something I can't say anything about. So, welcome to world of bookworms!

Welcome @Koloss! It's great to have you here. Hope you enjoy it!

@Shqueeves I have The Way of Kings audiobook borrowed, and I'm liking it so far. I hope I'll save up enough extra money to buy nice hardcover version of the Stormlight Archive at some point. It's nice to have the physical book, and hardback version is really nice. 

@ccstat lol for me when I read Mistborn it was more like, "Well what happens now?!?!" I can't sleep like this! 

@lyht Yeah I'm going through it now, and it's... a good opportunity to learn self control. At least with PC games my eyes get sore enough I have to stop, but with his books that don't have glowing pages, I could go on until my body malfunctions I think. 

@Tesh Dang, 3 weeks! Man I swear before this I couldn't even remember the last time I bothered to read anything longer than a 2-page magazine article, let along an actual book! Probably back in school days when I was forced to read just enough to write a report to pass. 

@Rebecca Thank you!
