For my purposes, yes.What's this? The Great Courses made a series on worldbuilding?
Warbreaker is also my favorite!I think of all of Sanderson's books that I've read, I've liked Warbreaker the best. It's wild to me that he just has it up for free!
I'll take this list and just add couple more. Droped China since it's not my cup of tea.Some fantastic reads there. I'd like to add a couple:
Black Company - Glen Gook. Loves me the books and they have seriously impacted how I run games.
The Malazan Empire books - Steven Erikson - another series that has absolutely featured in virtually every single campaign I've run in some form or other since I read them.
Moorcock - specifically Krieghund and the World's Pain series. My absolute fav.
Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders series has also really fed into my absolute love for trying to do nautical campaigns (and my crestfallen disappointment when they never actually pan out. :'( )
