This is a novel issue I have. Youtube started serving me episodes of Brandon Sanderson's podcast. I watched a couple and a couple became alot. I really enjoy it and it has been great for escaping the horrible stuff going on in the world.
I ended up buying Mistborn and started reading it. But when I read it its not in my voice but I'm hearing Sanderson narrate it in my head. My mind is even recreating his cadence and tone. Its really off putting and I think I may have a budding parasocial relationship developing with Sanderson.
I'm not an avid reader but I read lots of fantasy books and I always meant to read him but never got around to it. Now I am and I feel like I got in the wrong way; not through his work but through his opinions. How do I work through this because it feels really weird—like I'm not alone in my mind.
