The book "The Wise Mans Fear" came out today, the sequel to "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss.
I read a ton (have since I was young) and Name of the Wind is absolutely one of the best books I have ever read and I highly, highly recommend you check it out.
I picked it up because Penny-Arcade mentioned it about a year ago.
Do yourself a favor and read it.

Tycho told me to read a book the other day and I told him to tear out all of the pages and shove each one individually up his butt-hole. He didn't do that. Instead he opened the book to chapter near the beginning and told me to read just that chapter, only about four pages. I flipped the book over and read the back.
“THE NAME OF THE WIND won't just impress longtime fantasy fans; it will absolutely blow them away -- an unprecedented, utterly breathtaking storytelling tour de force.”
I kept reading things like the greatest story told in either books or film in the last ten years and rolled my eyes. Tycho turned it back over and handed to me. "just read this one chapter." he said. I read the chapter and then immediately purchased the book on my kindle. If this Patrick Rothfuss guy could do that in four pages I had no choice but to read the rest.
Do yourself a favor and read it.
