While on the road this weekend, I read The Name of the Wind

Soooooooo, that was a really freaking good book.

Like, I was trying to be all subtly weepy in the middle of an airplane on the way to Philly.

Okay, I will backup. The Name of the Wind is a high fantasy novel. I realize describing it like that is kind of the kiss of death for some readers but this, thankfully, does not read like a D&D campaign.

I love D&D but if that's what I'm looking for then, you know, I'll play D&D.

( (None of this is any more specific than you will find on the back of the book.) )
