Was Sanderson created by the Writng Gods to counter balance GRRM? Anonymous2000 Send a noteboard - 19/02/2012 05:13:07 PM
Because, wow, Brandon can write like the wind! Being a huge fan of his, thank goodness. I am sick of the GRRM/Jordan's of the world that release books every 3 year or so or more.

However, I will admit that I never caught on to the multiverse thing with Sanderson's books. I will pay more attention now, but I truly hope that your timeline for future books is achievable!

Just wondering, what is your opinion on this concept?

I just wish he'd be done with the RJ shit and go back to writing his own books. Tom - 19/02/2012 05:40:59 PM 1424 Views

Well, but he is a "fluff" writer from a literary standpoint Tom - 20/02/2012 02:16:11 AM 1436 Views
Not a fluff writer in my mind..... Anonymous2000 - 20/02/2012 03:12:46 AM 1390 Views
You don't seem to want to hear what I'm saying Tom - 20/02/2012 03:51:13 AM 1339 Views

You are correct in one respect: all of this is opinion. Tom - 20/02/2012 07:01:11 PM 1387 Views

Uh...Faust is a play. Doctor Faustus is a novel. The former is Goethe, the latter is Mann. *NM* Tom - 22/02/2012 12:00:22 AM 653 Views

I suppose fame is relative, but the most famous Doctor Faustus, to me personally, is indeed a play. Legolas - 22/02/2012 07:29:59 PM 1226 Views
