Like, above, I talk about Sanderson, and how his characters are curiously asexual when you think about it. I'm not saying that Mistborn needs hardcore sex scenes, but considering that there is a supposedly passionate romance going on throughout most of the trilogy, it'd be nice if that passion was ever really communicated to the reader.
I amuse myself.

I'm curious how much he wrote when he was finishing Wheel of Time.

I didn't know that "sex scenes, graphic violence and swearing" are the sings of a serious literature *NM*

To the extent that they represent a realistic, as opposed to idealistic, world, they sure are
