I finished Ready Player One well over a week ago. I raved about it, said it was the best book I’ve ever read, and then I’ve proceeded to read nothing at all since then. This is a problem that I’ve had for years. The more I like a book,...

I am a late comer when it comes to Brandon Sanderson. The only book of his that I’ve read from start to finish is Tress of the Emerald Sea. That was a great book, and it sparked my interest enough to try to really get into Sanderson’s...
