The Bands of Mourning (Mistborn, #6)

by Brandon Sanderson

“In this case, it’s not that I’m boring, it’s more that . . . I’m off. I’ve learned to fake being normal, but lists of prepared comments and jokes can only take me so far. People can sense that I’m not being authentic—that I don’t like the things they like or think the way they do. Sometimes it amazes me that people like Wayne, or even those kandra, can be so startlingly human when I feel so alien.”
