Pat Brooks Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Hello, all. New to the forums and just wanted to say hello. My name is Pat Brooks. I live in upstate NY. I work for an oil and gas company but I'm a brewer, pilot, and constant reader in my spare time. I also enjoy good television (a very limited commodity, IMO, but I did just re-watch Battlestar Galactica and am in the process of watching The Next Generation, good shows). I love Sanderson's work and am really, really glad that he was chosen to continue WoT, not only because he totally revived the series, but because I may well have missed out on one of the best fantasy authors of our generation. I look forward to re-reading tWoK and getting in on some theorycrafting. It's been a long time since I've been interested enough in a work to re-read it and look for interesting tidbits. I used to feel that way about WoT and ASoIaF but Jordan got way to into wardrobe description and GRRM got way to into not writing books for half a decade. The fact that Brandon is an author who writes is rather refreshing and I look forward to his subsequent works. See y'all on the boards.
Syborae she/her Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Welcome to the forums Pat! I agree with everything you've said about Jordan and Sanderson
KChan she/her Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Welcome! I agree completely with what you've said: had I not been following WoT, I would have most likely missed out too, and that would have been a terrible shame. Partially just because I would have missed out on the books themselves, but also because I would have missed out on meeting all of these great people! That said, I hope you stick around and have a good time here. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns! Also. Would you like a cookie?
