Same here- I didn't know about the Cosmere at all until I started poking around online

I mean, yes, they're technically all the same setting, but when you consider that the setting is a multiverse filled with people who don't realize it's a multiverse, that makes most of the books so far extremely self contained.
That is, if you had only ever read Warbreaker and the Mistborn trilogy, all you'd ever say is "Oh, both of these worlds have a hobo named Hoid in them"
If you even noticed. I didn't notice until I started poking around online and reading about the books. I don't typically read enough into books to make connections like that. Once I realized what he was doing though, I started paying more attention on my rereads.
I amuse myself.

Was Sanderson created by the Writng Gods to counter balance GRRM?

I just wish he'd be done with the RJ shit and go back to writing his own books.

No, I read that and didn't disagree that there couldn't be works that had both (read other comments)

Uh...Faust is a play. Doctor Faustus is a novel. The former is Goethe, the latter is Mann. *NM*

I suppose fame is relative, but the most famous Doctor Faustus, to me personally, is indeed a play.

Sanderson is a machine. Also, the books (so far) have been wildly different
