    I know it because its the reason jordans wife chose him to complete the wheel of time series. Never read it myself but it would be on the list if I start reading a lot again which I thought was unlikely two decades ago but with enshitification I am moving to less and less tech.

      Thought Robert Jordan chose Sanderson and that Sanderson doesn’t time with Jordan discussing his he wanted it to end.

        Apologies. Robert Jordan is the author of the wheel of time series and I guess im used to speaking about him with wot (wheel of time) fans or such. I do the same with asimov (foundation and robot series), herbert (dune), and such. Its a bad habit.

          Outside of terry pratchett I can’t say I ever manage to remember author’s names even if I go through series multiple times but maybe that’s an audiobook problem, ooh and david wong

            It might be just a thing with so much media. I think older folks who were reading before the millenium remember authors names because reading was a very significant source of entertainment compared to anything else. So much so that books were made from movie series like the star trek and star wars ones.
