Book Rating
This is my second read through of this book. Much of it I had forgotten, although it came back to me as I read it.
I have never read a series that keeps me so captivated as this one does, Erikson has such a talent for writing,he makes every single character important in the progress of the story, and there are hundreds of characters. And you connect with each and every one of them. You get pulled into this world every time you pick the book up, and its such a struggle to put the book down. He is, without a word of a lie a master storyteller, I have never read anything by an author like him.
If you think George R R Martin is harsh with the death of characters, Steven Erikson will break your heart time and time again. And yet you cant help but go back for more.

Movie Favorite Watch

"I like movies like Gone with the Wind, or The Unbearable Lightness of Being, but I’ll actually choose Traffic. When I did not speak the language, I watched the movie sex, lies, and videotape, and I didn’t understand; I thought American movies were always blockbusters, hard movies, with action and male leads. But that film was like pieces of life, pieces of dreams. I did a movie called Nipples, based on my dreams, with different characters coming together…very sexy, and very modern, and very open. I think that’s something that’s very contemporary and I didn’t think a lot of American directors were [that way]. [Steven Soderbergh]’s mind is very modern. I like Traffic because he shot it like a documentary, but there’s mystery, there’s modernity. There’s an unknown danger in it. When the characters are crossing the border — I just like the momentum of life, when people cross each other, when lives cross each other. In that moment of life, what can happen."
