>You can't have your cake and eat it too

What the fuck does this mean? And who has a cake but doesn't eat it? That's what cakes are for. Do they just let it sit on the shelf and gather dust?

>Reading is about how fast you can get through the book. I also watch movies at 4x speed.

>cutting out half the interview just to have someone explain what they already said.

I want to start reading some Brandon Sanderson stuff but I'm a bit confused in which order I should tackle it, since it seems he's working on multiple series in parallel.

I've heard good things about both Mistborn and Stormlight Archives, and I've seen some people say Mistborn is a better starting spot.

There also seems to be a variety of short stories and novellas, but I believe most of those are in the Arcanum Unbounded collection? I'm not sure if these stories are essential or not. I've also heard that Warbreaker should be read before the second Stormlight book despite being set in a different world.

Basically what I'm wondering is if I would be okay with this order.

Mistborn Era 1:
The Final Empire
The Well of Ascension
The Hero of Ages
The Eleventh Metal (from Arcanum Unbounded)

Mistborn Era 2:
The Alloy of Law
Allomancer Jak (Arcanum Unbounded)
Shadows of Self
The Bands of Mourning
Mistborn: Secret History (Arcanum Unbounded)
The Lost Metal

Stormlight:
The Way of Kings
Warbreaker
Words of Radiance
Edgedancer (Arcanum Unbounded)
Oathbringer

Sorry for my autism.
Am I missing something here or is something in the wrong order, should anything be skipped entirely?

Any STEMlords here? Do you find it hard to read literature after working all day?
After a day of work my head is fried and my eyes are already tired of seeing lines of text (I am a programmer).
I am thinking of listening to audiobooks instead.

>At the end of the Harry Potter series in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (book and movie) by J.K. Rowling, Harry gains possession of the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand ever made. Harry chooses to destroy the wand, breaking it into pieces and throwing the pieces away. Did Harry make the right or wrong choice? Why?

What the fuck? Who unironically thought that analyzing a children's book would be a good metric for college admission?
