I recently listened to this super fascinating episode of Radiolab on Aphantasia: http://www.wnycstudios.org/story/aphantasia/

Aphantasia is the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present, and people have a spectrum of abilities when it comes to this. So some people (me) can't really see a a clear image, while others see something hyper-realistic, full of detail, indistinguishable from the actual thing.

I'm so curious what other people see when they picture an object/place/scene, and I thought the Sanderson forum would be a perfect place to ask since there's so much to visualize in his books...how clearly are you seeing what he describes?

If you're curious about Aphantasia and you want to understand where you are on the spectrum, there are some good resources here: https://aphantasia.com/

Has anyone else read this incredible trilogy? I listened to the graphic audiobooks as opposed to reading the graphic novels and fell in love with the characters and the world. I'm so excited for the novel adaptation that Sanderson said is coming soon and hope that draws more people to Taldain. (Also these books should be added to the Quest 😏, they are critical to the Cosmere)

i'm curious, what is everyone's knights radiant order (from the stormlight archive)?

i'm a windrunner! i've taken the test a handful of times just to make sure but the windrunners always come out on top for me haha.

Two pages in and I’m already giggling. 🤭 I can tell I’m going to love this narrator.

I had DNFed this book, but picked it up again. My major problem with this book is it has a lot of information but the story seems to be going nowhere. It's extremely slow. Is it worth it tho?

“Novel reading is a dangerous business.”

Hehehee guess who got an arc.

Hello! I need some good (relatively short under 390-400 page) LGBTQ romance recs. I am afraid I'm not going to reach my book goal this year, so I really need some suggestions. My favorite books are Red, White & Royal Blue and God of Fury if that helps. I love any kind of romance trope (except for miscommunication or cheating). Check out my page if you need an idea of books I've read or Dnf'd. Thank you all in advance lol

Everyone on here always recommends the most amazing books. The ones they loved, the ones that changed them.

But give me a fantasy book or series that you wanted to rip apart- that you only finished out of SPITE

I very much enjoy reading 1-star reviews of books to see if I would hate the book too, or if it would actually be for me. People are more honest about a book if they hated it 😆 (in my opinion)

So give me a fantasy book you hated, and why?!
