I primarily read science fiction, but I will also read some general fiction, and even an interesting autobiography.

I love The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I'm not sure if anything I'll ever read will supplant it as my favorite thing to read.

Brandon Sanderson (author): The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive #1) (Paperback, 2010, Tor Books) 5 stars

Widely acclaimed for his work completing Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time saga, Brandon Sanderson now …

It took me a little while to get into this one, but once I started having to commute to work again I rattled through it in short order.

I feel like I know a lot of the characters now, and I'm so pleased to remember that I've got multiple books in the series waiting to go. I'm not so much looking forward to a ten-year gap for the next ones though.

There are some elements of this that I'm not over the moon about. There were a fair few descriptions of women that I feel like women might roll their eyes at, and the disembodied voice saying "UNITE THEM" turns out to be someone I really wouldn't have expected.

I'll start the second book on my way home tonight, and I'm reliably informed it's either best or second-best in the series, which is cool.
