I finished Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson yesterday. I really enjoyed it. I think I averaged about 100 pages a day, which is way above my normal reading speed. It's a book that feels fresh and innovative within the mainstream epic fantasy tradition. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series at some point.
Only two books into the year, I'm already feeling a bit oppressed by the prescriptiveness of all the challenges I've set myself, so I rebelled and started We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, which turns out to be quite appropriate. It's a classic early dystopia, about conformity, and I wanted to read it before Brave New World (which I might have already read, I can't really remember), since it's apparently less effective the other way round.
