“I have learned all kinds of things from my many mistakes. The one thing I never learn is to stop making them.”

“Once you've got a task to do, it's better to do it than live with the fear of it.”
― The Blade Itself
― The Blade Itself
“Has it ever occured to you, Master Ninefingers, that a sword is different from other weapons? Axes and maces and so forth are lethal enough, but they hang on the belt like dumb brutes. But a sword...a sword has a voice.
Sheathed it has little to say, to be sure, but you need only put your hand on the hilt and it begins to whisper in your enemy's ear. A gentle word. A word of caution. Do you hear it?
Now, compare it to the sword half drawn. It speaks louder, does it not? It hisses a dire threat. It makes a deadly promise. Do you hear it?
Now compare it to the sword full drawn. It shouts now, does it not? It screams defiance! It bellows a challenge! Do you hear it?”

Polls
A 4 días de que se acabe el año decidí hacer esta encuesta, ¿Cuáles de estos libros deberían ser mis primeras lecturas del 2018? La mayor parte quería leerlos este año, pero como decidí priorizar otras lecturas, no me dio el tiempo suficiente. Los 5 con más votos serán los primeros. ;)
PD. Si no han leído ninguno no se preocupen, pueden votar el que les parece más interesante o el que tenga la mejor portada, igual cuenta. XD
