Fiction Book-
Anyone read the second installment of the name of the wind entitled "The wise man's fear" ?
It just came out and I've been waiting for it. I think I'm going to pick up a hardback this weekend.

I'll let you know by the end of next month, I'm picking it up in the morning. The first was awesome though..very well written , IMO and interesting plot devices and structure.

I've only been reading it for a 2 hours and I'm sucked into up to page 59. I read the first about a year and a half ago and didn't even need a refresher. I've rarely met a writer who can weave such delicate and complicated, clever wit into a story to the point where I couldn't get the end of the thread before it ran out... and the engrossing imagery... highly recommend both
