Review of The Name of the Wind here. I've yet to be convinced any new high fantasy is "good". They have to hew so closely to the template to succeed that they can't be good by definition.

It appears that the paperback edition of The Name of the Wind is only available for pre-order from Barnes & Noble. It's due out on April 1. So that's out, too.

Is The Name of the Wind out in paperback yet? If not that would be one thing against reading it right now (though it is really good). I guess my top three would be Good Omens, Foreigner or the Once and Future King.

Lots of books vying for best this year. In the end I have to say... Parable of the Sower with honorable mentions to The Name of the Wind and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I don't know that I didn't like any books I read this year. I'm easily satisfied. *blushes at accidental ...

... quarter, so I also have some honourable mentions: Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger Homecoming by Robin Hobb The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

I'm reading The Name of the Wind. Recommended by Robin Hobb and Patrick Rothfuss is a bigfan of Joss Whedon, so I thought I'd try it out. I'm hooked.

... the second half. Even my parents enjoyed it, and they've barely heard of Pratchett. I'll be reading it once I get through The Name of the Wind and borrow the book off a friend.

I just got back from the post-christmas sales. I bought Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind and Diana Wynne Jones' The Pinhoe Egg (plus the Babylon 5 Lost Tales finally came out here, so I'm watching that this evening).

... was given a copy of A Moveable Feast. So far, this is my only book, other whan one suggested by a friend as a gift-proxy, The Name of the Wind. My gifts from family in Minnesota have yet to arrive, however, and those typically are books. :)

The Name of the Wind is great one I read recently. Start of a series though, and the rest haven't been published yet. Some people don't like having to wait. ;)

Just finished Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind, 2/3rds of it was excellent, and Resonance by Chris Dolley. Have been catching up with the short stories in the magazines.

... someone mentioned above, in a Roger Zelazny sort of way). Unfortunately I don't have anything new to add unless The Name of the Wind turns into an epic series in the future.

... unreadable. Just got Stirling's short story collection, Ice, Iron, and Gold, Kage Baker's Rude Mechanicals and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

I have read two of these, Name of the Wind and Last Light of the Sun I really liked the first one, though to me the middle is a bit weaker than the beginning. I read the other one a long time ago, and have no memory of whether I liked it or not (probably not a good sign).

What about Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss? I surfed through Amazon.com's top 100 for 2007 today and it made their list. I'm not sure if it will in other Amazon countries. It's a strong debut. I liked it better than the Lynch.

The Name of the Wind was a very good book. It was an excellent example of story telling in a traditional sense. The author's main character began telling the story of his life and at the same time, events in the present were bearing down on him. The writing has both humanity and polish ...

I've read The Name of the Wind and Cryptonomicon. I thought the first was a pretty good start to a series, and I'm looking forward to the next volume in 2008. Cryptonomicon was really good, but a bit dense, with lots of characters and some shifting around in time. I plan to re-read it when (if!) ...

I haven't read any of those! *blush* But, my daughter read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and really loved it. I just love how the touchstone for the book points to Patrick Rothfuss, but the touchstone for Patrick Rothfuss himself is glowing bright read, which implies he's ...

I second #5's recommendation. I read The Name of the Wind earlier this month and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the next one. Some others I've discovered over the past year and have been recommending left, right and centre: Robin Hobb writes character-based epic fantasy. A ...

Just ordered a new Sci-Fi book for my son for his birthday. The Name of The Wind : the kingkiller chronicle day 1 by Patrick Rothfuss The book received four and a half stars on Amazon. I am a George R.R. Martin fan, though I don't read a lot of Sci-Fi. Rothfuss looked like an author I' ...

... in here. I'll second Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Possession and Stardust. The last book I really enjoyed was The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I did wish it had had a little more emotional depth, but it was still a very entertaining, readable fantasy. I'm looking ...

The Name of the Wind I'm almost finished with it, and so far I like it a lot. Grand Conspiracy b/c I have to reread the series before I get the new book.

#300 - ooh, horray for Bartimaeus! He's one of my favourite narrators. I'm about halfway through The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It's quite addictive; I'm not exactly emotionally involved with it, but I'm still having a bloody good time.

I've just started The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It's perhaps the only book I've ever picked up because of those "if you like this, you might like..." suggestions on Amazon.

VisibleGhost, Hey, thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten all about my "recommendation" for Name of the Wind. I've only seen the two U.S. covers in person (red-haired protagonist Kvothe cover and gargoyle exhaling cover). The only other cover I've seen is the UK cover here: http://www.a ...

10> Even more months later.... How many dust jacket variants did Name of the Wind end up coming out with? I've seen three. Any idea which is the most coveted? BTW, reviews and fan appeal are holding up well.

#91 - JannyWurts, my daughter bought The Name of the Wind back in April and she really enjoyed it! I haven't gotten around to sneaking it out of her room borrowing it yet. #92 - Let us know how you like Lisey's Story, lbw. I bought it used at our town library. But, again, I ...

Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. His author's statement in the SFBC flyer was full of zap, and I fell for it. Now the book's tantalizing me from the To Be Read heap, and I'm trying not to play hookey from writing....just yet....but I will cave in, eventually. I enjoy the surprise ...

... is tracking two time lines, recent and 1300s Western Europe. So far, it's keeping my attention. In fantasy I picked up The name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and have read the first 25 pages.

Perhaps you might try The Warrior Heir, City of Bones, or Name of the Wind. I think they all fit your criteria.

... feffer The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray Currently I'm reading The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

6 months later... I'm reading an ARC of a forthcoming fantasy book called The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. The publication date is supposed to be April 3, 2007, and the book has been getting a lot of positive buzz from various reviewers; it's supposed to be "the" debut fantasy ...
