This list is in no particular order. Textbooks have been omitted, because I didn’t read them for fun.

Also, I’m currently reading Souls in the Great Machine, by Sean McMullen–but mostly for the dueling librarians. But I will post more about that on Sunday, probably.

  1. can you list them in order from best to worst? i mean, i like how you’re giving us the books you read, but i want to know which to read.

  2. The better books are the ones that I’ve blogged, because the books provoked enough thought to make a blog post worthwhile. The rest tended to be interesting fluff. If you’re interested in what I thought about a book that I blogged, I would just plug the title into the search box in the upper left of the screen.The reason I did this post was just to see how many I had read since I started the blog, not really to provide a reading list. But thank you for reading. If I have time in the next couple of days, I will try to link the blogged books to their entries.

  3. I’m curious what you thought of MISTBORN. I know you liked my first book–thank you for your kind words on it by the way–and I’m curious if you see Mistborn as a turn in the right direction, or in the wrong one.

  4. Holy cow! Brandon Sanderson posted on my blog!I would love to blog my reaction to Mistborn. Unfortunately, you caught me in a really busy week and I don’t think I’d be able to do a proper blog post until early next week. (Sorry, grad school and all.) But I do want to say, keep up the great work. There is so little original fantasy out there, and I really enjoy your work.—Also, I wonder if it would be possible to get a couple of signed bookplates from you? You visited my local Walden in July, and I would have come by and visited but I was out of town that weekend. Natch.

  5. I’d be happy to. You could mail them to me (email me, and I’ll give you my address. Website is brandonsanderson.com.)Which Walden is it? I did two in July.
