Hi. My name is Tom. I want to win to supplant my sorrow over not winning Publisher's Clearing House. Tom Send a noteboard - 05/08/2010 04:56:37 AM
When I was in second or third grade I would get excited and think that I might win.

Then I realized that, statistically speaking, I was as likely to find a satchel filled with cash on the street as I was of winning. It left a deep scar in my psyche that only winning this book can fix. Well, not really. But I'd still be really excited to win.

I liked all of Brandon Sanderson's books (at least, the ones I've read). I thought Mistborn was wonderful and Elantris was a good standalone book. For whatever reason, though, when I was asked about a "favorite moment" (just a moment ago for me even though you asked it quite some time ago apparently, judging by responses) I thought about Warbreaker. I loved the part where all of a sudden Vivenna realizes the truth about Denth and Tonk Fah. It was a great twist that completely changed the tone of the book.

Okay. Now I get to wait, just like I waited for Ed McMahon and his prize patrol...
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
