I fell in love with the Stormlight Archive from the first chapter in The Way of Kings. I'd never heard of Brandon Sanderson until he wrote the final three books of the Wheel of Time, but now I'm constantly looking forward to his next title.

Same here, though I've never ventured into the Wheel of Time series. My first of his was actually Steelheart, which really hooked me into his writing. I've consumed pretty much everything he's written to this point save for a couple short stories and Legion. I, too eagerly await whatever he puts out. A new Alcatraz just came out, and some more good stuff is coming down the pipe!
Traveling Man, I have not read that one in years, I must dig it out! Thanks!
I stumbled across it thanks to Amazon's suggestions for me and like it.
If you enjoy it, you should check out the full set of his Sackett series. This is one of the interrelated novels. It's been at least 20 years since I read all of those. I really should read them again sometime.

Just finished "The Tristan Betrayal"~Robert Ludlum
I have to say, I honestly was disappointed by this book. From the title, to the cover, to the excerpts about Fair Blows the Wind, you'd think it was a swashbuckling tale that takes place along the North Carolina coast. Well, about four chapters of the 33 do; the rest takes place in Europe. A better title would be Forest Gump in Elizabethan England.
The Invisible Hook -- The Hidden Economics of Pirates, by Peter T. Leeson.
Arrrgh, it's a good read, matey, if ye be interested in pirates and naval history.

Firing of the Crucible: Heros are not born. They are made. Phoenix Empire: Book 1 by Michael Shaffer
The last book I sat down and read to finish was "Lazarus, Man" and that was four months ago. After seeing this thread I need to got back to reading. Why not I don't watch TV.
"Killing the Rising Sun" 👍
DECLINE AND FALL by Evelyn Waugh
A Storm of Swords, by George R.R. Martin
Islands in the Stream
I'm on the second omnibus of Kearney's Monarchies of God. I'm on the equivalent of book 5. A good series, fantasy with gunpowder, lots of battles, some darkness, etc. I'm enjoying it, can't wait to see how it ends.
I just finished Girl on the Train and now I'm on "I'm Thinking of Ending Things," which seems like an odd story.
