When I start craving more Arthurian legend in a month or two, I will consume it with relish, I'm sure ;) Glad you enjoyed Rothfuss - he's definitely a staple of the fantasy genre<br /><br />@Elfy - yeah, almost any book that preaches religion of any type grates on me a little. I can see where you're coming from, for sure.LisaBithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149700122818729999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363755.post-23119769746225665632011-10-09T22:05:08.087-05:002011-10-09T22:05:08.087-05:00I reread it for the 2nd time last year.
