Book Recommendation

For the Fantasy fans among us, I highly recommend The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss.  You can view his site here:  http://www.patrickrothfuss.com/

These are beautifully written, and like the Lord of the Rings, there's obviously an enourmous world it only shows a part of.  And they're told mostly in first person by the hero, as though he's setting the record strait about what really happened.

The excerpt from book 1 available online should make it easy to tell if you're interested or not (personally, I couldn't read it fast enough, and I suspect book 3 will be FAR too long in arriving.)

A particularly entertaining tidbit:

And then there was Abenthy, my first real teacher. He taught me more than all the others set end to end. If not for him, I would never have become the man I am today.

I ask that you not hold it against him. He meant well.

I may have to try these... the excerpt is pretty darn good.
