I'm going for it. I'm starting The Wheel of Time. A 14 book endeavor. Two of the people at work have done it. I'm going to do it too

Yes and no! The author Robert Jordan had a meeting with Brandon Sanderson on his death bed, and gave all his notes, and had long talks with brandon Sanderson, and then Jordan passed away and Sanderson finished it!

Brandon Sanderson is a very good writer too. He wrote the Mistborn series which was awesome. He also is writing the Stormlight Archive but that series isn't finished. I think he's writing book 4. and these books are like 900 pages long each. How in the world do people write so many books?

Does anyone watch book reviews/book hauls on YouTube? I find a lot of good recommendations through there

I have the Wheel of Time audiobooks to listen on the plane and stuff, but when I get there, and relax at the club house, I should find something good to read. Maybe I'll read some Rousseau or Jung. I have some other things about the purpose of writing that I should go through too. I should also read Prometheus Unbound by Aeschylus, the first of the great tragedians. Most greek plays are very short.

When I get to florida im going to go to the grocery store and, go to the theater with my grandmother and mom to see the new Fantastic Beasts.

Fantastic! I’m sure you’ll love them.

I’ve been reading The Wheel of Time books for a decade or so. Some things are best savoured.

I think I finished book 10 earlier this year. Will most likely start the next book early next year.

I have a serious backlog of books to read though, so really should tackle some others first.

Started reading out of my Complete Works of Fiction by H.P Lovecraft book. It's like 1,000 pages so I'm just doing a story at a time every now and then

I just ordered a couple of books on Amazon. I forgot the titles. One is on AI. One is on the beginnings of the Republic of the United States. Kit

I'm putting together a leather bound critical edition of Plato's Republic. I already did it years ago but I was foolish to do it in a paperback edition. I found this leatherbound edition translated by Benjamin Jowett a couple years ago and he is my favorite translator so I'm very fortunate. I wish I was a professor so I could constantly read these important books, helping others understand them better. This book is put together by the Franklin Press Great Books Collection. They're amazingly beautiful and meant to last generations.

I think I should start highlighting, and taking pictures of text in the books to gain more followers on Twitter, to share knowledge and, in the end, to share part of my book when it comes out. Is that tacky?

I honestly don't know how to advertise my first book other than social media. My university loathes me so that is out of the question lol. Ideally, i'd like to get my book to ancient Greek philosophy, and history professors. I'm just not sure how that might be possible. :-/ I'm almost certain my book will go unnoticed when it makes print.

Newtus, that was pretty smart to hand 10 copies out. I'm wondering If I should do the same, but, when on twitter, to look up 10 ancient Greek philosophy professors, message them, and ask if I can send them a copy.
