Nah, I can't handle this anymore. I know so many people love it; I know it was an introduction to adult fantasy for some, and the book that got them back into reading for others; and I know many consider it a staple in the genre. But the bottom line is, I don't care. (I even underlined it. Hehe.) I don't care what happens to Kvothe. I don't care how he got so high and mighty, and I don't care how he fell. I even found a near-new copy at a second hand book store for only $5 last week sometime, and I just didn't care enough to buy it in the hope I could finish it some other time. My library copy was even due yesterday and I completely forgot to return it (plus I fell off a horse the day before and have a nasty bruise on my hind quarters and the left side of my pelvis. Fortunately no fracture, but still a lot of pain).
So yes. Even after waiting many years for this to come in at the library, and then pushing through almost 200 pages of boredom, I am finally giving up on The Name of the Wind. Honestly, I wish I was more sorry about it.
