2020

  • 2020-03-30 · Improve your Reading + My New Favourite Pen — Ali has been listening to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series on Audible nonstop for many months, perhaps more than a year, and has just finished book six. — 00:09:49
    • Robert Jordan has died, Ali thinks, and Brandon Sanderson took over writing the last few books of The Wheel of Time. (hedged) — 00:09:49
    • Ali thinks his order was a good one: Mistborn is a good gateway drug into fantasy, long but high-impact, while the Stormlight Archive is very long and can be slow, so a background in fantasy helps you get through it. — 00:11:18
    • The Wheel of Time is absolutely huge, with over 12 books, Ali thinks, starting with The Eye of the World; he is on book seven and avoids looking at the titles so as not to meet spoilers. (hedged) — 00:11:47
    • If you have not yet started on fantasy audiobooks, Ali says do yourself a favour and go in this order: Mistborn, then the Kingkiller Chronicles, then the Stormlight Archive, then The Wheel of Time. — 00:13:17

  • 2020-06-21 · A HUGE Unboxing Day — Ali does his home workout late at night while listening to The Wheel of Time on Audible at 2.5x speed. — 00:10:56
