Hey, hey now... I have seen the inside of a gym. I read most of Alloy of Law and WoK on my Kindle while on the treadmill. In fact, I have a horrible time making it to L.A. Fitness when I'm not currently engrossed in reading a new Brandon Sanderson novel, because I buy them all on Kindle and refuse to let myself read e-books at home when I have a large stack of paperbacks waiting to be read. OK, that's not much of a defense against being a pasty nerd.

*waves to the FNG* Your welcome cookie and/or hemalurgic spikes should be along shortly... make yourself at home, but make sure not to drink out of the milk jug or get your shoes on the furniture. You may get scolded.

Chapter 20 is up!

Pssh, you want a long boring intro, read my thread! Welcome! Your cookie should be along shortly...

Because cats are smarter than us and clearly meant to take over the world. Especially when spiked.

Oh yay! I adore first read/reread commentary and blogs! I'm saving my next re-read for spring/summer so I'll finish closer to the AMOL release... plus I'm currently re-reading Way of Kings and have a stack of paperbacks that are awaiting a first read (including the first books in both the Malazan Book of the Fallen and the Codex Alera series). But I will totally follow along if you post your thoughts on your WoT readthrough!

Woot! My main was a night elf Lazerchikin... had a nelf bear/tree alt on the same server just for grins (and a whoooooole lot of other alts for that matter). I played for 5 years, quit this past January for financial reasons and due to time constraints while everyone else was leveling and gearing up after Cataclysm. May or may not go back to it at some point if the finances improve, depending on how many of my old guildies are still playing.

See, I knew you were cool. The question is, Bear, Cat, Tree, or Lazerchikin?

I just have to state that your avatar is made of win. Welcome!

Chapter 16 is up now - I'm enjoying reading this, now that I've finished the other books and can see the bits that have been cannibalized for other works.

Yeah, see, after I posted that I thought about it again, and then realized that sounded a bit silly with what real world gemstone sizes... but with all the gemstones scattered about in the series, it just seemed like bigger stones would be more common. I mean, the ones in Jasnah's fabrial, were you imagining them as little chips, or more like 1/2 inch cut stones? When reading, I wasn't thinking of real-world values and sizes for things like emeralds and diamonds and rubies, I was picturing them big And then there's that.

I use my Kindle app on my desktop solely for geeking out and searching text to post on forums. Sanderson, Brandon (2010-08-31). The Way of Kings (p. 69). Macmillan. Kindle Edition. Sanderson, Brandon (2010-08-31). The Way of Kings (p. 69). Macmillan. Kindle Edition. I imagine the largest denominations may be a bit bigger to accommodate the larger stones, as the size of a thumbnail is a bit small.

This post is made of utter and complete win. <3
