I just got back from a bookstore in downtown! It was so cool! I got five books, which added up to a stack of dollars (64, lol).
First off... I got Dark Force Rising, the sequel to Heir To The Empire. I'll finally be able to continue that trilogy... whenever I get to it, probably next year (I got so many books to read.)
Second, I got two Discoworld books!!! I decided that I don't want to start with the Color of Magic. Instead, I have my second and third choices for starting since Mort wasn't there. Going Postal and Guards! Guards!
And finally... I got both Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear! Bloody storming metals have I been wanting to read these big guys. However, I do want to know when I should skip like 200 pages in Wise Man's Fear like @Edema Rue suggested. I am wary about going into these because of the whole charity scam that Rothfuss may or may not have done. I read the prologue and a page of the first chapter of this and already know this is going to be a masterwork worthy to adorn my shelves.
ANyways- I'm organizing my room and shelves because I've been intending to do it for a good long while. This is gonna be fun-
I do think that I'm just going to finish WoK and dive into the mountain of books that I still need to read (it's like 20 or so titles long now). My reading slump is coming to an end hopefully, so I'll be able to actually read fast again! Huzzah! Hopefully I'll be able to emerge back into my 100 pages an hour speeds in the next few months, but for now I'm good with a third or a half of that.
