I just want to survive. If I must use puns to do so, I will.

True. I hope it happens though

When you see the Legion TV series and think of Stephen Leeds

The film rights for Snapshot have already been bought by MGM! http://variety.com/2017/film/news/brandon-sanderson-snapshot-mgm-1201961935/ The book isn't even out yet. Branderson's getting popular with these movie people...

Thanks! I got most of them from here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bLYPHdhopXVh81lTy1KZHfKZX2voue3bukb90u2_Kyw/pubhtml I got one or two from here: http://drogakrolow.pl/bibliografia-nowego-mistrza/ (the polish website you mentioned earlier) For some I googled around until I found somebody, anybody, saying they had a word count Some I just guessed based on page count and a guess for words/page One of them I found a pdf and put it in Microsoft Word, removed page numbers etc.. (I already bought my own copy of said book, I deleted the pdf and word document afterwards) Update (04-04-2017): I found a word count for Snapshot!! Source: http://m.imgur.com/gallery/veN6h It says on Brandon's site on his page for AU that it's 40 000, I just used that. http://brandonsanderson.com/books/cosmere-short-fiction/arcanum-unbounded/

When you're poring over maps searching for symbols in the geography and find them and then you're drawing them into the air and you blow up your library and ohnoitwasadreamnooooooo...

thanks for the tips! I'll keep these in mind. Have a cookie? I didn't do anything to it, but maybe don't eat it just in case. Maybe you could make a candle with cookie incense?

(= sorry.

I'm guessing it will just be Cosmere novels. I wouldn't mind an Alcatraz leather bound though...

Listen to Sanderson audiobooks to pass the time

Knight Radiant with pressure surge and a Soulcaster (can Soulcasters cast air?) Problem: Your friend offers you a cookie that your other friend tell you not to eat

I wish I knew how to art

what does a copper compounder do? if they burn copper with memories stored in it, do the memories come back more vivid?

When you're reading SoS and lol at mention of Lady Zobell

Or when you're reading SoS and lol at mention of Lieutenant Ahlstrom's desk

Would the next two White Sand volumes go in the 3-4yrs category?

I second the Belgariad (and the Mallorean) by David Eddings. They have witty dialogue and are generally very good. As a bonus, I'm pretty sure Brandon has said his writing is partially inspired by David Eddings due to the witty banter and magic system that had something of a rule system. I like Old Man's War by John Scalzi (disclaimer: this is sci-fi, not fantasy (Other disclaimer: Scalzi is Brandon's nemesis, so read at own risk)) Neil Gaiman is cool. Especially American Gods.

I, too, love Wait But Why. It is delicious to me

thank you very much!!

thanks! I will be wary of the cookies. Thanks for the pun warning
