    As someone who has read thousands of books you should be able to clearly and accurately describe the major flaws and recommend books that were superior in relation to the problems you see.

    That’s why I bothered reading this back and forth for so long. I am someone who has NOT read thousand of books , but enjoyed the 8 books of mistborn.

    I’d be joyed to read something in the same vein but even better.

      A) I could do that, as I already said, yes.

      B) I’m glad you enjoyed Mistborn. I enjoy frozen pizza. Is it culinary art? No, and I’m not writing an essay to explain why. Just try some other food and then reflect on your experiences.

          Do you realize how entitled it is to expect a detailed explanation for why Mistborn, Twilight, and a stack of fart jokes aren’t the height of literature?

          What’s next, I say the sky is blue and you tell me to prove it? Go outside. Look up. Behold.

            Never have I have had to ask twice from an avid reader for a book recommendation. It’s like asking for a tech geeks favorite linux distro.

            I know and chat with actual literature professors and professional authors. Someone who knows what they are talking about is not reluctant to share knowledge with people. I always learn, even by accident being in the mere vicinity of those folks. You are not from that group.

            For you I recommend Something Happened, by Joseph Heller

            I suspect your life is going to go about as good as Bob’s life. Nice easy book by a famous author. I’ve read dozens of books and this was one of them.

              You’re very confusing. All I said was that Mistborn is badly written, which is objectively true. The statement was a shibboleth for people who love books.
