Why pick Elantris out of all the Sanderson stuff? Is it just because it was his first novel?

Well, at first I was going to do The Way of Kings, but it's huge! Even though I've read it I was intimidated trying to read that one on the timeline I had. Then I thought maybe I'd read something I haven't read before so I bought Mistborn. Then in class the teacher said to pick something we've read before so we can spend more time analyzing rather than understanding the plot.
That took me back to Kings, but it was still so long. So I pulled Elantris off my shelf and it's only 600ish pages so I went with that. As a bonus it is his first novel that he polished and finished in a program like I'm in now so I'm connected to it in that way, though I do like Kings better.
Do you have a Sanderson favorite?
Well, I like almost all of the cosmere stuff. I will say that if you started the stormlight archive it would be a good idea to read Warbreaker before you get to words of radiance or oathbringer.
I've read words of radiance too, but not war breaker and I haven't found the time for oathbringer yet. I will though, once I get through some of these classes.
Definitely read warbreaker before Oathbringer
