My name is Brian.

I recently picked up Elantris and found it to be one of the the best fantasy novels I have ever read.

I also read the main site and these forums a bit before posting and, I'm sorry to say, knowing that Mr. Sanderson reads and often responds to posts on this forum is only going to lead me to camp here and beg him to write faster .

frankly, it's hard to write faster than Brandon already does. I think the only people who write faster are Stephen King, Danielle Steele, and Piers Anthony.

Wow. Quick response.

I was kidding.  I admit that, when it comes to authors I like,  "When's the next book coming out?" is the first question on my mind.  I do, however, respect the fact that authors need to write at their own pace.  Some, like the authors you mentioned, are remarkably fast while others (i.e. George RR Martin, Kristen Britain) take their time between novels.

lol.  Terry probably has me beat too.  How many Discworld books are there?  Like 80?

Welcome, Brian.  If you're needing random things to read, I'm sure you've seen the WARBREAKER chapters I'm posting.  I'm afraid they're very rough yet, so don't judge me too harshly based on them.  MISTBORN will probably be the thing that will suit your tastes best.  It'll be out in a month or so.

ok, I'll concede Terry Pratchet.

I saw the release date on Amazon.  I'm looking forward to it.  I will definitely start reading Warbreaker.  Thank you for being so generous with your work.

Barbara Cartland wrote over 70 books in one year, but they were romance novels so I'm not sure they actually count.

That's a new book (almost) every 5 days!  That has to be some kind of record.

Do you know if she actually wrote them in a year or did was she newly published and just dumped a stack of them on the market?

Wow, in her 98 years of life, she wrote 724 books. That's more than Isaac Asimov.

My cousin, Stacy, told me to read Elantris, and I wasn't sure if I'd like it. Once I started reading it, though, I lost sleep for a few nights finishing it. Really, it's one of my favorite fantasy books.

Sounds like what happened to me, only replace Stacer with Fell's wife and started reading with Brandon coming to my class to talk about it. Then I read it.
