Read art of the deal
guy became president
must be useful
No Rusp
you WANT to read one book
you might not even make that
Replying to mint #wimint easy answer, its not as profitable. unironically read Lenin, imperalism, highest stage of capitalism. but otherwise just read something like shock doctrine. look at what we did in iraq, we gave everything to the contractors, it was supposed to solve war and boy did it.
start at like part 5 or 6, im bad at explaining thibgs but this is like one of my all time favorites
Loveland should pace yourself
one book a year is a feat already
Rusp could have been neighbours with a fortnite dev and got annoying in fortnite as backbling
what the fuck Rusp
live a better life
I think he being put in a baby harness of the characters back though would be funny
Mistborn is definitely what got me into his writing style, I really enjoy it. The Stormlight Archive is a tall ask to get into, so much of the epic fantasy shit that's irritating like all these proper nouns and countries with their own politics and so on. For Mistborn, I like that it's just 1 town, 1 story.
Oklahoma Joe as a skin though
would go hard

Sanderson adds maps to the first few pages of his books and I greatly appreciate that, but yea having narrative jump between like 4-5 characters PoV every chapter can be a lot.

Yeah I started one chapter with nobles gossiping and they mentioned like 10 different names I was unfamiliar with and I had to stop for a second to process it all

Yeah, I just do not recommend the Stormlight Archive for an introduction to fantasy books, there's just so much going on! I personally enjoy it but, like, Mistborn is a solid fantasy series that is simple.
Clearly we should make an entire channel for book discussions so that Rusp can discuss his one book
(not on the table, no more channels)
Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby I've been reading the Re:Zero light novels most recently. They're pretty enjoyable.
For the sake of discussion, jap shit does not count as reading
