Re: Currently Reading: Intellectual
Finally, someone who's read a book that I have, lol.
I read Elantris last year and enjoyed it quite a bit. I thought the twist on why magic wasn't working anymore was both simple and brilliant. Hadn't heard about the possible sequel before, could be cool. I thought it all wrapped up quite well, though.
Have you looked at his Mistborn series? I thought it sounded pretty neat, though reviews are a bit mixed. I'll probably get to it eventually. The magic system is what really caught my interest.
Anyways, right now I'm reading Swords Against Death by Fritz Leiber, the second book of the Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser series. Each book is basically a collection of short stories about the (mis)adventures of the titular characters, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. The books were written ~40 years ago and it shows, but they're still great fun. Fritz Leiber is credited with coining the phrase Sword and Sorcery, the subgenre of fantasy he helped create.
