really? I haven't read them either (I want to save it) but that sounds like they're crucial right off the bat, right?
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.

I read on some website...

Yeah, that one...
that there are these weapons/armors that are sort of a big deal.
Yes, thank you, Mr. Website.
My thought is that the ten magic systems will be related to those ten shard-nouns.

"It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them."

That, ladies and gentlemen, is GHANDI.
I know they're easy to get confused though.

AAAAAAAAH I WEEP!
burning books is a saddening practice...But perhaps justified in this instance. I sincerely hope things start to turn up for you, now that the spirit has been exorcised. If things keep going downhill you know you've awakened a book ghost or something.

weeeeell my local bookstore is heathen and terrible for only having one copy of one Brandon book on its shelves...namely the same one I bought from them a week ago...
So while I'm on my quest to find a copy of Elantris to snap up, I picked up the 1st WoT book, just to work myself up to the last one(s). Which is, of course, the only important one(s). Amirite?!
but soon I will understand the whole cosmology! I promise!I'm making it my goal in life or something.

Does anyone know if Brandon's wheel of time contributions play into this overarching canon? Or is it just Meestbwarn, Elantris, Warbreaker...The Stormlight Archive...
is Alcatraz part of this too?

That's funny because I suggested Jackman as Marsh - bond of brothers, eh?
It might be interesting to go with an alternate racial interpretation of Vin - if Shakespeare can do it, why can't we? I mean, she certainly looks like she could play Vin.
Peter from Narnia though - here I must take exception. You don't think he's too young?

wait, I've forgotten, do we know for a fact that its always the same Hoid?
Maybe it was just a really popular baby name...30-60 years before every book Brandon writes...

although there's a key difference: Demoux evolves into a religious leader and Spook becomes a quasi-religious figure.
I remember thinking that if people were gonna start making new survivors, (survivor of flames, etc.) then at some point it would start getting mundane as heck.
Survivor of Mugging
Survivor of Food Poisoning
Survivor of The Flu
etc. ad nauseum.
...is that going to be my catchphrase? I think it might...
