Honestly, what % of readers do you think would notice this "problem"? Anonymous2000 Send a noteboard - 27/05/2014 04:28:25 PM

Also, is this issue isolated in Mistborn #1 or repeated many times?

Wait, aren't Game of Thrones and A Song of Fire and Ice the same thing? beetnemesis - 29/05/2014 09:18:31 PM 921 Views

I really should read Irving, I see Larry - 27/05/2014 06:10:50 AM 972 Views
I've only read one book by him, but The World According to Garp, at least, is a great book. *NM* Legolas - 27/05/2014 05:20:49 PM 405 Views

So bad prose is okay if it is intentional? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 27/05/2014 03:54:34 PM 435 Views
Okay, I do of course miss the perspective of what comes after. Legolas - 27/05/2014 06:29:33 PM 784 Views
I proudly claim the title of literary snob, and will provide you with a quick, unscientific example. Tom - 26/05/2014 08:15:04 PM 986 Views

Huh. Lana Del Rey quotes Nabokov... I had not made that connection. Legolas - 26/05/2014 11:17:47 PM 1084 Views
That quote from Lolita sounds like it is from a romance novel with Fabio on the cover. Anonymous2000 - 27/05/2014 03:40:37 AM 893 Views
