Brandon Sanderson is sick of George RR Martin's shite.

What little Sanderson I’ve read I like.

I watched his lectures from BYU on creative writing and one thing he said was he feels obligated to the readers to finish his series even when he’s not the most motivated.

I immediately thought of the fat man.

I think he's actually talking about Rothfuss since Martin has two books to write and Rothfuss only one.

Sanderson has the balls to have a progress bar for his fans.

Well to be fair, I don't think Rothfuss is clinically sane anymore.

So what’s a good place to start with Sanderson

Definitely start with the Mistborn trilogy.

If you enjoy that then I would recommend following it up with Warbreaker. It's a one off novel but ties into his 3rd book in the Stormlight Archive series in a pretty significant way. Plus the Wax and Wayne books are only one book away from being finished and you might as well wait for that one to come out before starting the others.

Then you could read either the Wax and Wayne books or start with the Stormlight Archive. I'd recommend starting Stormlight Archive and reading Way of Kings. I don't want to overhype it but it's my favorite series.

Then you can read the Wax and Wayne books. The last one will probably be out by then.

And then you can read the Wheel of Time saga and hope that the next Stormlight book is out by the time you finish. That's how I spent a year in between Words of Radiance and Oathbringer

Also read the novella Edgedancer in between Words of Radiance and Oathbringer. You can wait and read Warbreaker in between Words of Radiance and Oathbringer too.

Ya but I just imagine people "sick of Martin's shite" probably want to read a completed series

I'll probably pick up storm light once there are 6 or 7 books finished.

I burn through good books in a weekend or so usually. Sometimes a night if it isn't too long. Just too many finished series out there for me to jump into something unfinished unless it something like gentleman bastards or malazan where they are largely self contained

If there is a big time jump I'll probably read the first half whenever that 5th book or the end of the first part has a planned release date.

Sixth of the Dusk - I really liked this one

Agreed. His best short story work by far.
