[@POOHEAD189] I kinda get the feeling that, despite some inevitable disagreements about details, we might be kinda on the same page with regards to [b]The Name of the Wind[/b].  That is:  good book, good author, would probably recommend to others buuuuuuut not about to say it belongs on a pedestal above the rest.

That being said, I have a big fat copy of [b]The Wise Man's Fear[/b] sitting here on my desk.  Go grab your own copy and we can meet back here when we've both finished to see how we feel about the continuation of the story. XD
