@Lyn Alden recommended two fiction series/authors that I have become completely obsessed with…

1. Mistborn (which led me into the entire Cosmere). Brandon Sanderson created such an incredible universe. The Mistborn trilogy is fucking great. The Stormlight Archive is also fucking great (only partway through right now). You should read Brandon Sanderson. (Note: I read the physical books, not audiobook)

2. Dungeon Crawler Carl. In this case, Lyn recommended the audiobook, so that’s what I did. Holy fucking fuck… first of all, the author, Matt Dinniman, is a genius. The writing is excellent. The story is captivating. The characters are both deep and hilarious. Second, the narrator, Jeff Hays, it’s literally a voice god… It’s so fuckity fucking good. I’m on the fourth book in the series already. Every single one is truly outstanding.

Anyway, the point is that if Lyn recommends you check out a book, you should fucking do it.

The mistborn trilogy was very good. "The more I learn the more confused I get" ~ Never read Dungeon Crawler Carl! Adding it to my list

The Emperor’s Soul is a great Sanderson novella.

I started with Stormlight and have sense read all the cosmere. I like warbreaker as a standalone if you get some spare time

Mistborn is absolutely fucking amazing. Haven’t heard the other one but I’m definitely going to get it.

Can I recommend Terry Pratchett. “Night Watch” is my favourite but truthfully I love them all. I think he’s a genius and highly underrated.

Fiction as macro training makes sense — Sanderson's world-building forces systematic thinking about incentive structures. Same skill set you use to understand Lyn's Fed analysis. Do you find the pattern recognition transfers between fantasy systems and monetary policy?
