When a book goes from something to get me through my commute to something that I listen to at any spare moment; its something special. Thus has been the case with both The Name of the Wind and now The Wise Man's Fear. I would venture to say that the second book in the Kingkiller Chronicles is actually better then the first. 

Its the start of May and I have now completed my 9th book. So far I am a little ahead of my schedule to reach my goal of 25 novels by the end of the year. My latest read was The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Without giving a full synopsis the novel is about a young boy Kvothe (pictured above) and his journey from being a traveling performer to a member of the University.
