    Reading stats of my current kobo ereader, 10199 total hours

    This is my third kobo ereader l’m not sure if the stats transfer between them, but they probably do, read 70-120 books a year.

        Sure, but it’s since 2011, before that I bought real books. Having years of commuting 3 hours 3 times a week also helps. E-readers have made it a lot easier for me to read in between other tasks. 5 minute reading sessions add up over the year

      What other fiction do you enjoy? I finished all the Cosmere books, but I seem to be a little picky when it comes to fiction I have learned.

        I should add Brian McClellan with the powder mage books, Brent Weeks with the Lightbringer books and Peter V Brett with the demon cycle are some very good series with some unique and well thought out magic systems that I really enjoyed.

        Do you have suggestions for other Authors/books? I liked all the Cosmere books to varying degrees.

        I read Brian McClellan powder mage books, which are sort of similar and enjoyed those. I also read Cradle series by Will Wight which is not similar, but I enjoyed it a lot and it was an easy break from some more dense reading.

          To tell the truth I haven’t read many other fantasy series. Sanderson finished off the Wheel of Time series, which I’ve heard is good. The first book Game of Thrones book was excellent, though I found it quite dense and haven’t got round to reading any more of his. I’ve got the Assassin’s Apprentice on my wishlist as someone recommended that too.
