Man, I can’t wait for you to read the next one…

Finished Morning Star last night. That was an emotional roller coaster book. What a tremendous trilogy

Looks like the Stormlight TV series will have 10 episodes for the first season. The size and scope of those books is gargantuan so it will be interesting to see how Sanderson can honor his original work. He's the main writer for the show which is not common in book adaptations. Ask the magic and armor will require a ton of CGI so I wonder how much they're going to cut back on that? Gonna be really weird to have faces for these characters I feel like are family at this point.

Guessing that's a little different than Morning Glory Milking Farm?

IMO, easily the best work of fiction of the 20th century. I love the Hobbit, but The Lord of the Rings is several levels above it. There are passages in it that still makes my hair stand up on end, even reading it for the 20th or 30th time.

The end of chapter 4 of Book 5 (The siege of Gondor) gives me chills. Every. Single. Time.

For anyone who's struggled with getting into Lord of the Rings, I've suggested starting at At the Sign of the Prancing Pony and reading from there - and then once you're invested, going back to the beginning to catch what you missed. The pacing of the first few chapters (with the exception of possibly The Shadow of the Past) can be a little slow if you're not already into it.
