The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson
I keep meaning to read more Sanderson. I think I've read Sanderson, but I'm not sure. I might have read the Mistborn stuff but I couldn't tell you the plot of the series at gunpoint. He also finished the Wheel of Time series which I was invested in for many years before the thing became so bloated with characters, I stopped caring.
Sanderson captured everyone's imagination or greed several years ago when he launched a kickstarter for four books he wrote secretly. It was the biggest Kickstarter ever. I wondered why those books were popular. The books have been released through the normal channels and The Frugal Wizard's Guide is one of them.
Man wakes up in a sort of Medieval England with no memory of how he got there or who he is. Scattered burn pages of a book surround him giving him some clue of his whereabouts, the titular Frugal Wizard's Guid. Turns out, you can buy your own dimension.
The memoryless man sets off to find out what's going. Adventure ensues as he meets the locals and discovers his powers.
Fun quick read. I enjoyed it. It was that oddity in today's society, a stand alone fantasy novel. Although in some of the notes, I guess the book kind of ties in to the Comere which is Sanderson's Universe of stories.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
