man crushing

Sharing my thoughts about one of the coolest people. My favorite author, hands down, no doubts. Brandon Sanderson. He is my Doctor Who. The way he shows up and picks me up in his machine, which is bigger on the inside of course and takes me away to some far off land in space and time and we have some wonderful adventures. By the end, when its all done i'm sitting there wondering how can i possibly go back to my mundane life with all the things you've shown me.
His writing is really that real. I crave it, i cant get enough of it.
Anytime i hear a fantasy fiction fan has not read at least one of his novels i am automatically appalled and insist that they must read at least one, but they will not be able to stop at just one.
Brandon Sanderson picked up finishing The Wheel of Time, of series of books that took a mans entire lifetime to try and get done, which he was sadly unable to do. But here comes Sanderson not only seamlessly picking up where Robert Jordan left off, but at the same time paying homage to Jordan's wonderful world and characters, but making it better. Making the action more intense more interesting and more real.
I eagerly await every line you write Brandon
