    I don’t think I have that one, would you recommend it even if it won’t be finished?

      First picture, 3rd shelf down, second in from the left. He wrote 2 I believe. Then into a corner. It’s mixed reviews in my opinion. Basically the reviews go like this to me, those who understand the “narrator” of the story is the main character, so he talks himself up and tells stories as if he was magnificent (he grew up in a circus, thus putting on a show is what he always knew). Then there are those who dislike the series because he is good at to many things, which I don’t agree with, because I think he is just telling a tale with his side of things.

      For instance… A man wouldn’t tell a story where he said he disappointed a woman in bed, he would skip those, and only talk about the story where he thought he caught something he didn’t think he should be able to, and did well on a way he could tell a story about. (Misogyny maybe, arrogance sure but it’s a character)

        Forgot the authors name: Patrick Rothfuss.

        Also if you like books by him see: Peter V. brett and Brent Weeks. (Everyone says Brandon Sanderson so I figure I’ll put him last. My ex-spouse says he’s amazing and ever if we aren’t together anymore, I’ll say she knows a good author… So I havent read him, but he’s famous now)

          Wow I’m tunneling. Sanderson is the one that finished The Wheel of Time series, and also “may” finish game of thrones for R R Martin if he ever says, yeah the ending in the show sucks.

          Dude can churn out 1000 quality pages a year like it’s nothing

        Also for those who may question a person would tell such tale, he is telling the tale to someone writing his (auto)biography? So if you told your lifes tale would you talk about how you got rejected at 20 or would you skip that and talk about how you landed something beautiful at 20 you believe was a 10, describe as a 10 while others may say they were a 7. Beauty and story. Was Athena beautiful… Doubt… what does time tell
