I'm currently reading Animal Farm by George Orwell. Has anyone of you read it?Please feel free to recommend new books!
That's a classic. Lots of us had to read it in school. Pretty common to be in a reading list.

I thought the first one was great, but that the other books sort of got away from it too much. maybe I should try and given them another try in a few years as I get through my queue
You have to read the Trilogy to even complete the story. The first book doesn't really stand on its own.

I have, I've probably read 4 or 5 books in the series. But that was years ago, and before I discovered audiobooks.

I'm hoping to fit a reread of the Stormlight Archive in over Christmas along with Sanderson's Skyward (going to have to fight for time with that one with my 14 year old).

Yeah, I'm pretty excited about what he posted yesterday. Knowing that Stormlight Archive is only 4 of 10 kind of put things into perspective. Sanderson probably has a large group of people hoping for his continued health and well being.

I read the Mistborn series before I started this. I had a bit of a stutter getting into this after Wax and Wayne. I started getting into it about half way through the 1st book.
I wish he would extend Wax and Wayne further -- beyond 4 total books. I thoroughly enjoyed it. -

Yup. Trying to stay focused and finish what I start. Its typical of me to start something and never finish it. Working on fixing that fallacy of myself. Not being much of a reader doesn't help with that either.

No joke. At Part 1 - V, and trying to keep up with its own terms and definitions takes a bit of effort.

Took me a long time to fix that behaviour in myself with video games.
