Now reading: The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss

Here’s some news on my literary quest: I am currently reading Patrick Rothfuss’ second book, The Wise Man’s Fear, and I dare say it is stunning.

Actually, I started reading it a while ago, just that I forgot to mention it, my sincere apologies 🙂

Now that I am halfway through this 1k page book, I want to share with you a little fragment that I found particularly interesting, that I feel you will enjoy even as it is out of context. I find it a glorious passage.

Ten hours I spent there, and the only act of creation I accomplished was to magically transform nearly a gallon of coffee into marvelous piss.

It is probably not the most elegant of phrases, but without a doubt striking. The perspective of the situation is interesting, especially since one could closely relate to such a situation IRL… no?

I am thinking particularly about all those others students such as myself who are forcing themselves to study because it’s the exam period.

Now, returning to the book, I could divulge so many amazing fact about it, but I’ll keep the spoilers to myself and taunt you into reading the book yourself (remember, it’s the 2nd book, the first being The Name of the Wind).

Trust me, it’s worth the read!
