I was not much of a reader until last summer when I went to the beach with my wife and her family. My wife wanted to go to the used book store in town and I figured I may as well give reading a go to keep myself entertained while sitting on the beach for a week. I've always enjoyed fantasy movies and video games, I was an avid Everquest player back in the day, and figured I go that route. I discovered Stormlight Archive through a Goodreads list of best fantasy series, and luckily enough they have a copy of The Way of Kings available. While I understand it probably wasn't the wisest decision to use such a long book and series as an introduction to reading as a hobby, I'm happy I made that decision. The book, the characters, the world they reside, I fell in love with it all.
I read Warbreaker after TWoK then decided to give some other authors a try as I was new to the genre. I couldn't stay away too long, and now I'm committed to completing Brandon's Cosmere works before jumping into something else. I've since read Elantris, WoR, and now I'm working through Arcanum Unbounded (excluding Scandrial stories, I'll do the Mistborn series next).
