done. I am skeptical that Sanderson will be able to keep his series at 10 books. Even if he dies it means another 21 years to completion. Kind of joke.

After you read all the Sanderson books read the kingkiller chronicles by Rothfuss.

Do this^^^^if you enjoy starting a series that you will never be able to finish

I assume you mean rothfuss's chronicles, Sanderson will finish his series

Rothfuss has 1 more book left to finish his series and Sanderson has like 10

I've never heard of an author that turns work out as fast as Sanderson. Book three is set for November of this year.

Sanderson is very prolific. He has many projects,

Sanderson is currently 68% done w/ the 3rd draft of "Oathbringer" (Stormlight 3). It should be out this fall

That's the point. He won't finish it before he dies.

I do worry about that. Not sure he can realistically work faster, though.

BlueBlood

I don't believe he can work faster. He just has more irons in the fire than any

Gate5

He'll get to a point of realizing he needs to prioritize if he truly wants to

Sanderson is 41. A book every three years puts him at 62 when it's done. Even adding a 4th year for every 3 books

I'd take a semi finished Sanderson series over another Kingkiller Chronicle.

Here are some of my favorite books or series of the last decade or so.

One of the most fun series I've read is the Galactic Football League series by Scott Sigler. Sounds corny, I know, but

The Wright Brothers is the best book I've read in years.
