Brandon Sanderson / Re: Mistborn: Final Empire TYPO page

Will all these typos, etc get fixed before the paperback is out?  I've only spotted a few but I think that's because I get so involved in the story I just keep reading and fix them in my head.

There's strategy involved in Connect 4.  No random movements of little white balls.

My brother recommended Lord Foul's Bane by Stephen R. Donaldson to me several times before I finally broke down and read it.  I wish I had read it sooner (I was in high school).  I reread this series every couple of years.

I know the Dark Tower series gets a little wonky at the end but I loved reading The Gunslinger by Stephen King (the original one not the one that he revised to make it fit the ending).

I'm assuming you've already read Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead and Xenoside by Orson Scott Card.  Every sci fi fan should read those.

"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.  You killed my father, prepare to die."

Ooops.  Sorry, it's just that I always think about that line when asked to introduce myself.  My name is Pengwenn and I didn't kill my father.

I love to read, although my reading time has taken a hit recently as I get used to my bionic eye.  Okay, it's not bionic but it's not entirely mine either.  I write a lot too.  Mostly crap, but I've written an excellent word or two.  My most recent ones were "winced" and "tipsy".  ::)  I play video games religiously.  I've upset a few hard core gamers when they find out they've been beaten by a girl.  Get over it.  Since I have to pay the bills I'll keep my job in insurance, but I wish I didn't have to.  Where's a suger daddy when you need one?

I linked here from Brandon Sanderson's own page and I've even met the guy.  If you guys can stand him you're either very patient or just as crazy as he is.  Either way we should get along just fine.


(Brandon Sanderson is a great guy and I just have to give him a hard time because he is such a great guy.  There, that such keep them from deleting my account.)

Video Games / Re: Gears of War

I'm more of an RPG gamer than a FPS gamer, but I love this game.  There's nothing like that "Oh crap" moment when you realize you're being flanked by the enemy and you've got a man down.  My style of play is more "run and gun" so being cautious and remembering to use cover can be a challenge for me sometimes.

I'm just getting to Mistborn too.  It's our selection this month for our book club on a writer's web site I'm a member of,

...you go to your folks house and mom's been doing the holiday baking.  Nothing's better than the smell of zucchini bread baking.
