Brandon Sanderson / Re: Sex and sexuality in the Mistborn series...missing?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a scene in Well of Ascension that takes place directly after Vin and Elend have sex?
News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

Isn't Red Eagle the company that was going to make a WoT movie?

While reading it, I realized that I can count the people that I know who actually have read a book in the last four years on one hand. It really amazes me just how far reading has declined.
Once I might have said the same but Twilight changed that :p

Just finished it, and I LOVE it! My favorite character has to be Nightblood, what with his "Would you like to kill someone today?" introductions. Totally awesome.

I'd wake up in the middle of an empty field with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a sawed off shotgun in the other. My life would be ruined by that one little word.

I can't remember exactly, but I think it went something like this.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: **SPOILERS! The Shards of Adonalsium
« on: January 09, 2009, 05:20:05 AM »
I think, and I could be completely wrong about this, that Domi and Jaddeth are two of the shards that we have met, and that they have a relationship similar to that of Ati and Leras. Not to say that one wants to destroy and one wants to preserve, but that they have opposing viewpoints. I starteed thinking that Domi might be the Shard behind the Dor, and Jaddeth might be the Shard behind the Monks of Dakhor. I also think that Austere from Warbreaker could be a shard, and that he is the one responsible for resurrecting the Returned. I could be completely wrong about this, seeing as how the only books by Brandon I have read are Elantris, The Mistborn Trilogy, and Warbreaker.

« on: January 09, 2009, 04:28:53 AM »"The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.A great quote from a great series. I also like this one.
The first law of reason is this: what exists, exists, what is, is and from this irreducible bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. It is the foundation from which life is embraced.
Thinking is a choice. Wishes and whims are not facts nor are they a means to discover them. Reason is our only way of grasping reality; it is our basic tool of survival. We are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss that we refuse to see. Faith and feelings are the darkness to reasons light. In rejecting reason, refusing to think, one embraces death."
