Wembanyama grew up reading the classics, such as J.R.R. Tolkien's Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series. He discovered Sanderson's books about 15 months ago and couldn't put them down, citing him as his new favorite author in a story by Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News.
Sanderson wasn't familiar with Wembanyama before that article came out. But he was delighted to learn about the NBA player's enthusiasm.
"It excited me," Sanderson told Sporting News. "I think that's incredible."
"I grew up in an era where we like to pretend that people who like sports and people who like books were different breeds," Sanderson continued. "And I always hated that. I always disliked it."
quote:
Wembanyama was at the end of one of Sanderson's books, Words of Radiance. He was at the climactic finish of the 1,087 page tome as he lay in bed.
"I had to stop, because I wanted to save it for game day."

I mean he has made it through at least 2 stormlight books so that's about 2000 more pages than Leboo

He reads an hour before bed. Saw a tweet saying Spurs employees were told not to call or text him past 9:30 pm on off nights because it’s his reading hour

I don’t know why that’s so precious to me but I love it.

Reading before bed with no screen time really is a fine method
