I'm curious, How many of you have read "Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss? Thoughts if you have? Its one of the better books I've read in my opinion.

Sequel comes out fairly soon!

(I actually got on the Rothfuss bandwagon late, just didn't get around to it - but it was really good. Also a good example of a magic heavy Bard.)

<<Sequel comes out fairly soon!>>

Sure, if you consider May of next year "soon".

Then again, you're a GM, so...you probably do. ;)

If you are a player, it would be whatever half of "soon" is.

I see the word soon, and i picture GMs laughing as they are working on something else entirely.

May is "soon".

"Soon" is Dance with Dragons.

I was recently at a Sanderson signing and he was talking about release dates for the rest of the Stormlight Archive and he made a joke (At least I think it was a joke...) about how he had no idea how rabid fans hadn't burned down GRRM's home yet.

Of course there's worse then that. You could be an Effinger fan where he wrote 3 books in the Marid series, one short story that takes place after the planned 5 book arc that shows it's going in a totally different and interesting direction than expected, the first two chapters of book 4... and then spent the last 10 years of his life drinking and using drugs without ever writing another word of the series.

I think there would a mob geting ready, if not for the hbo show coming out soon to distract us.

In the time since the last book in the series, I have discovered the series, read it, forgotten much of it, reread it, forgotten it again, and stopped caring.

The only other series that so expertly moved me from deep interest to complete apathy was Wheel of Time.
