the second part of that sentence was pretty unnecessary

he is mormon that explains everything about him

I love the Terror so much but if you are frequently disappointing by his endings I think you will be here too. And the Terror is indulgent, but I think the indulgence enhances the experience, whereas someone who has tried his other stuff might think it definitely does not

by december i will have probably read mort at least so i would have some intro to Death

I am pretty sure he talks about it somewhere and the car crash basically made him take stock and he realized he had to finish this series before he died, so he decided to do just that

this is why I liked early Sanderson because half of his stuff was stand alone (Warbreaker and Elantris really). now he is big enough that everything is a series

no not yet

also unlike the rest of the series the last three dark tower books were forced to an extent, because he decided he needed to finish the series now, rather than waiting for the next bout of inspiration

MORE TERROR SPOILERS

yeah i have the chart that shows the reading order, i've been told i can start with any book that begins a series. i will probably read all the series beginning books first and then just follow up on the ones I liked best

Guards! was really great, loved the characters and i connected much better with the humor. Colour I struggled with more, but enjoyed it more as it went along. I think my problem with Colour is that…

well unfortunately most people don't see the respectability politicians as problematic.

Yep Cottonmouth is the one that the respectability people point to as the real problem.

It is interesting that you were worried that Cottonmouth would emerge as the voice of what I believe is called "respectability politics" because if there is anyone on this show that I think has come close to expressing those views it is Luke. Now thankfully he hasn't fully traveled down that path, but the early line…

I think that Cottonmouth is a little more villainous than you are perceiving him, but Mariah is a classic bad means, good ends villain. I agree though that Domingo or Diamondback (and this is where my money is) is going to be the real villain of the season. I just don't see the threat that Mariah and Cottonmouth…

Birthday of a Nation sounds like a very different movie from the one we got

Ok so there are a few things you bring up that I really want to talk about:
