Morning Discussion

Oct 01, 2008 1:04am CST
Why, hello there. I do hope your Wednesday is going well.

I finished reading my first novel in quite some time yesterday, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I'm usually not one for fantasy fare, the long-winded gibberish names and abundance of mythical items bog me down, but he mostly avoided those pitfalls.

Instead, he delivered a surprisingly well-written and well-paced tale, especially considering its length of over 600 pages. And this is just the first of three! The only problem? The second book isn't out until next April. Boo.

Speaking of disappointment, what bullshit that Fringe won't be back for two weeks. And, you know, the part where the preview totally resolved the cliffhanger ending.
