Meg Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Hey! So, I found my way to the books of Brandon Sanderson through Wheel of Time, as I was very impressed how he fitted in the style of Robert Jordan. After finishing my last book of WoT I searched for new books and I searched for Brandon Sanderson. So I bought Elantris, Warbreaker and The Way of Kings. And because I've been very curios and eager I took the English books though my English is not that good :)/>. Meanwhile I've read Elantris and Warbreaker 2 times and Way of Kings -- after finding this forum -- 3 times. And I was so proud when I've read the passage where Shallan talks about "... 10 seconds". I took my book away, ran ( :)/> ) to my computer, opened the forum to tell all of you my intriguing discovery ... and -- as that was to be expected -- it's been only my very new discovery. It's a good thing, that I read a little through the threads rather than make myself look stupid. I'm really fascinated with most Brandon Sanderson's books I've read until now. My very favorite is The Way of Kings and I'm really jittery for the second book. At the moment I'm reading Mistborn Trilogy though I've second thoughts about it. But I thought reading it is kind of necessary to understand some postings here. As a young child my parents bought me books, but I didn't read. And -- I don't remember, when -- I just "Snapped" and from there I read much (most about young girls and horses :)/>). Later came a period of horror (only Dean R. Koontz) and then I found myself to be hooked on fantasy. I've read Tad Williams, Robert Jordan, Michael Stackpole, Georg R. R. Martin, Kirsten Britain, Tamora Pierce, Jennifer Roberson, Guy Gavriel Kay, Jane Welch and some others. Not fitting in here: some books from Diana Gabaldon. Those books I've read in German, which is my native language. But now -- at least for BS's books -- I stick to take the original ones. I've looked into the first pages of the translated book and I found myself dissatisfied. After having read the originals I kind of had my own "translation" in my head and that doesn't really fit with the official one. So, I may end now as for you see one of my greatest vices: I can't make it short. Greetings Meg PS: Please bear with me about my -- surely existing -- lots of mistakes I'm making. Please feel free to correct me :)/>.
