way to go Vortx! i think eveyone should spread the gift of BS this holiday season...  ;D

I agree!

Back in '06 or '07 (I forget which) I got copies of Elantris for a few of my friends.
I must say that I look back upon that as one of the best Yule shopping trips ever.  It hooked a couple of them on Sanderson, I'm still working on the rest of my circle of friends (although I've made significant progress in converting one in another country - hopefully he'll raise the cry for Sanderson novels in his home market).

We must not start to attack the oppressive front of non-fantasy/sci-fi readers! We must take them and force the word of BS on them for it is what must be accepted as truth...er... fiction... uh.. crap I forgot where this was going..

Heck ya.

Give it to the blind for it shall make them.. see? No.. but maybe there is a brail version?
Give it to the homeless for it shall give them.. paper.. to uh.. stuff their shirts with!
Give it to the hungry for they can then resell it for uh.. half the price and can buy.. half a sandwich!

Brandon Sanderson. The author who's books keep on giving.. sort of.

Hyuk Hyuk. :D

This.

I second this.

Wait... I third it.  ;D

I protected your honor (EUOL) at my local Borders in So Cal yesterday. Somebody was talking about The Wheel of Time and about how Robert Jordan's son was finishing his series (im not a fan of the wheel of time, just BS). So I set him straight, pulled him over to your new box set of Mistborn and told him that this would be the best use of $20 dollars short of buying a new puppy for his children. (don't ask me where you can get a puppy for $20, because I don't know). He told me that he had so many books on his list that he couldn't get another set yet. I bought the first book for him (paperback) and told him that it was such a good use of his time that it was worth MY money.

Sad thing is... he never said "No, I can't let you do that. You are too generous good sir, take your hard earned gold coins and journey on your way. Save it for your adventures and for your women."

He just took the bloody book and said thanks.

My Christmas spirit is now broken.

I was completely following all the theories on The Shards of Adonalsium until all ya'll had to pull algebra out of your patookus.

Way to ruin it for me.  ???  :D

I can't read any more Hoid scenes without imagining him as the Noid now. Randomly cracking up in the library thanks to you guys. -_-

I'ma pull out my laptop and watch a full season of The Office in the library one day and see if I can get through it without getting slammed in the back of my head with a W-Z dictionary tomb.

I do not see this idea turning out well.. for my brain cells that is. I'ma have a friggin' blast watching the office me thinkies. :D

Hold On, I'm Doping.
Hrrgh, Oh, I'm Dying.

...Yeah, I got nothing. I'll go on another Hoid-hunt in WoA later tonight, to catch anything we might have missed.

EDIT: Those acronyms all make an odd sort of chronological sense, if you put them together.

Ha I do love the fact that he ages with each line.

But.. at least mine has something to do with his personality!  :D Now you're just getting lazy my friend.

Hi-tech Omnipotent Intelligence Drive

It could be the cousin of the infinite improbability drive.

I hope we don't get too much concept art. Gotta hate when the picture in your head isn't what the author imagined or his slave artists imagined. I much prefer to be surprised that my images of characters/settings are wrong AFTER I have read the book, rather then be forced to picture it the artists way.

 ??? I think I confused myself again  ???

Fantasy isn't about your sanity. It's about your lack of sanity. If we were all perfectly sane, do you think we could believe in some of these outragous (all be it, amazing) worlds? Me no thinkie so.
