I wonder if David has read Brandon Sanderson?

I’m working my way through the latest doorstopper in Sanderson’s Stormlight Archives series, and I wondered if David would be a fan?

We know David likes spec fic novels with intimidatingly complex lore (viz: Dune). And we know he loves rules. Well Sanderson supposes a fantasy world where all the lore IS rules. Just pages and pages of people explaining how fake magic-science works.

Just a thought
