I'm right at the end of Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson. The change in Sanderson's long-established format for these final chapters - in which POV characters are rotated by the paragraph, instead of by the chapter - really adds excitement. The Way of Kings brought me back into reading earlier this year after years neglecting the world of books, so it's gonna suck having to wait like everyone else for the next one. Still, I have all of Sanderson's other work awaiting me.

Also quick shout out to Hamilton: The Revolution, by Jeremy McCarter. If you're a fan of Lin-Manuel's hit musical then this is a must.

Started: Fiction: Interview With the Vampire, by Anne Rice Non-fiction: Things Hidden: Scripture as Spirituality, by Richard Rohr

Finished: Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson Ok, so it's not the greatest thing ever, but it gave me a lot of enjoyment. I still give it 5 stars for being so entertaining. And, man, it is big enough that it could have been a trilogy by itself!

Poirot Investigates, by Agatha Christie. Finally finished the last story. Pretty good overall. Would have finished it much sooner if I wasn't so preoccupied with....

Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson. This is a long book! Currently at 55%. Very good, but getting a little confusing trying to remember all the characters.

I finished Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson for the second time. I still like it a lot, but, the first book is now back to being my favorite in the series so far.

I am still plugging away at The Terror by Dan Simmons and I'm about a fourth of the way through it right now. I really like what I've read so far and I'm hoping it continues to hold up. The book is massive.

I also started Lenin: The Man, the Dictator, and the Master of Terror by Victor Sebestyen and have made good progress in it. So far I'm enjoying it and I've been in the mood for a biographical book lately so it is really scratching that itch.

Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson

I'm about a third of the way through Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson. It is just an amazing read, and I am taking in every word and detailing of the world of Roshar.

I have also been reading Electric Dreams, by Philip K Dick (Collection); so far I have read Exhibit Piece and The Commuter. Both were excellent short stories.

I just finished Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson and now I'm starting Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett! Message me if you want to discuss Oathbringer. :)

Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson. Currently about a third through it. It's good, though Shallan really bothers me.

Poirot Investigates, by Agatha Christie. Haven't read any this week... definitely need to finish up the last few stories.

Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson

I absolutely devoured the first two books, and am now seriously depressed that the next book is still a ways out...

I could not recommend this series more, or this author more. The character development, world building, and plot are first class in both his Stormlight Archives (Oathbringer comes from this series) and the Mistborn Series, which I also highly recommend.

In the last couple of weeks:

Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson

Eh it was all right. Not riveting, probably a little too long for what it is, but I enjoy the series and I’m looking forward to the next one.

The Liar’s Child by Carla Buckley

Meh. Mild spoilers: the problems kept mounting and instead of showing the protagonist having to work her way out of it, the author just kind of handwaved them at the end. I didn’t like any of the characters, either.

Working on:

  • The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
  • 2666 by Roberto Bolaño
  • Ulysses by James Joyce
  • Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James
  • You by Caroline Kepnes
  • I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong

Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson. Slightly more than halfway now. Haven't had a ton of time, but definitely enjoying it.

Poirot Investigates, by Agatha Christie. Despite my intentions to finish it last week, I didn't touch it. Really need to finish up the last couple of stories.

I just finished Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson and thought it was great. I enjoyed it about as much as Words of Radiance.

I just started Gardens of the Moon, by Steven Erikson which is the 1st book in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. I'm intrigued so far, but I'm not far enough in to make any concrete judgements yet.

I recently finished reading Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson again, such a good read

Comment from [Reddit user] with 3 upvotes on /r/books/

It's been a while since I last did one of these - well - two weeks, so not that long.

But I've finished The Way of Kings, by Brandon Sanderson and Words of Radiance, by Brandon Sanderson

In my opinion both 5/5 stars. The action is great, although there isn't much in the first book. The characters and their development are very interesting. The worldbuilding and everything related to it is, obviously, great, since that must be Brandon Sanderson's forté. I guess if beautiful prose is really your thing, then Brandon might not be for you, but I don't find it a problem at all.

These books will probably compete with The Witcher for my favourite fantasy series.

Currently reading Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson Halfway through it - great so far. I use the word "great" way too much, when talking about books. I'm jsut excited to soon be finished with the Cosmere, so I can delve into the fandom without fear of spoilers.

Next up is The Alloy of Law, by Brandon Sanderson and the rest of Era 2 and also The Book of Joy, by Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu

Started Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson

Finished Assassin's Apprentice, by Robin Hobb This was a good fantasy novel, and I enjoyed it, but for me it was nothing particularly special. I know some people really love this series, and I will certainly finish it, but not anytime soon. I suppose the first book was probably a lot of world and character building and that the next two are going to be a lot more exciting, but I didn't find this one to be particularly riveting.

Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson. About 70% done now.... This book is loooong, but very good.

Comment from [Reddit user] with 3 upvotes on /r/books/

I finished both Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson and Edgedancer by Brandon Sanderson this week, and I just started the next book in the series, Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. This series (Stormlight Archives) has quickly become my favorite series I've ever read, and I can't read them fast enough!

Finished: Oathbringer(Stormlight Archive) by Brandon Sanderson

Started The last Empire(Mistborn) by Brandon Sanderson

So I'm a big Fantasy fan and been a fan of Brandon Sanderson since I first picked up one of his books. I read Elantris and Warbreaker for the first time what seems like several years ago and liked them. Especially Warbreaker. The magic system was so creative and neat it just sucked me in from the very beginning. So when I saw on Reddit a lot of talk about the Mistborn and Stormlight Archive I was excited to check them out. Full sieries instead of just single books. I was not prepared for how good these books would be. Brandons Sanderson Writing has just continued to improve and improve.

I started with Stormlight Archive since it sounded more interesting to me at first glance. I was completely blown away. I cant believe how much better his writing has become, not that I thought it was ever bad. I was pulled in from the very first page, and could not stop. I blew through all three books faster then I think I've ever finished a series of that size. The small connections to Warbreaker blew my mind! The character growth, world, magic, and story just consumed me. It was so good that I needed more of his writing and started on Mistborn right after finishing Oathbringer. I'm already almost done with the first book and I'm hooked all over again. He just turns out interesting worlds and magic like no other. I love Brent Weeks writing too and his creativity but man does Brandon Sanderson pump out books. And good books at that. I can't recommend his writing enough if your a fantasy fan.

Finished up Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman and absolutely loved it. Terrifically written and an excellent entrance point into, well....Norse Mythology.

Started The Well of Ascension (Mistborn #2) by Brandon Sanderson. About 200 pages into it so far and am enjoying it a lot. Looking forward to squeezing more Sanderson into my reading life.

I started reading Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy, got 2 chapters in and kinda gave up. I know it's supposed to be amazing but i just didnt like the writing style. Wierdly first person with a disjointed flow to it all, unsure if that's deliberate or just McCarthy's writing style.

Instead, started reading Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card. Good so far, but it seems like it's more skewed for a young audience, which i didn't expect from all the recommendations

EDIT: OH, and finally finished OathBringer, by Brandon Sanderson. Seriously good read, the last 12% of the book was so gripping

Comment from [Reddit user] with 3 upvotes on /r/books/

I've got a week before my final semester of grad school starts, so I'm going to try to read Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson in that time period. I've started it several times but put it down because I didn't have the time to dedicate to the story like I wanted to. I'm also listening to The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775-1777, by Rick Atkinson. I know embarrassingly little about the American Revolution so I thought that this would be a good spot to kind of start to expand my understanding. I'm also reading Anna of Kleve, Princess in the Portrait by Alison Weir. Been looking forward to this release for a while, so I've been reading it in snips here and there when I've had the time.

Still working my way through Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson. Last week I finished an ARC of Anger is a Gift, by Mark Oshiro and this weekend started reading Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew because I'm trying to get my garden together and books were a good way to make myself commit...

Grey Sister, by Mark Lawrence

Great follow up, but I think it has classic middle book syndrome and I expect the next to be better.

Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson

Reading this one for the second time whilst I figure out what I want to read next. Picked up a few things I missed before which is nice.

Comment from [Reddit user] with 2 upvotes on /r/books/

Finally finished Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson. Then I picked up and read all the way through The Night Masquerade, by Nnedi Okorafor, the third in the Binti novella trilogy. Just last night I picked up Artemis, by Andy Weir because it was a gift for the holidays and I'd yet to read it.

I'm also chipping away at my square foot gardening book and an RPG sourcebook for Coriolis on the side. SO MUCH READING! And my library had a book sale this weekend, where I picked up a couple more books, including the extended release of The Stand, which I don't know when I'm going to commit to that...

Just finished Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson I really liked it and thought it moved the story forward a lot and went in a lot of new and interesting directions. Can't wait for the next one.

Started readin Scourged, by Kevin Hearne It is the last book in the Iron Druid Series. I think the series may have one of the best audiobook performances out there. Voice actor does an amazing job voicing dogs and supernatural creatures. The books are really fun and have liked what I have heard so far.

I finished Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson

Great book - not as good as Words of Radiance in my opinion, but I think whether you like this one the best or WoR is about what character you like the most, as my favourite character was relegated slightly in priority in this book compared to the first two. Still a 5/5 book and I really enjoyed it.

Next up is The Alloy of Law, by Brandon Sanderson and the rest of the Mistborn Era 2 and then I can hang up the Cosmere on my favourite shelf - it's been an awesome experience so far!

Also started The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss

Goddamn this one has to be good to live up to the hype - very excited!

I finished Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson about two days ago. Mad, crazy, brain-shattering book, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Now I have picked up The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I'm only 50 pages in thus far so I won't comment on it just yet.

I started Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson

So excited to be reading this, had only just finished Way of Kings when it was released and was so jealous of seeing everyone getting all excited for it to come out. So far it hasn't disappointed, chapters are so addictive - the perfect one more chapter series.

Comment from [Reddit user] with 2 upvotes on /r/books/

Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson Finished after over a month of reading. Crushed the final 400 pages in two days of actually having free time. Words can’t express how great this was.

When You Are Engulfed In Flames, by David Sedaris Needed a change of pace after 3 Sanderson books and likely will finish this in the next few days.

I'm working my way through Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson and I'm giving it some breathing room instead of getting something going alongside it. I'm already about halfway through! It's alright, I don't know, I think I've liked the earlier books better so far.

Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson - I have flown through this series the last few months, so good, all 3 books are fantastic, and will be very sad when Im stuck waiting for the 4th (but having read ASOIAF, KingKiller and Gentlemen Bastards, waiting shouldnt hurt like it does)

Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonegutt - doing a reread, really enjoy this collection, not every short story is a hit, but the ones that are, are fantastic, about to reread All The King's Horses, which is my favorite in this collection

Oathbringer, by Brandon Sanderson

I just finished it and it was great! Weakest of the 3, but still 5/5. The ending didn't leave quite the impact that the endings the first two did, but thats fine. I flew through these books in a little over 3 months. Now time to dive into theories!
