(Part 2) Best products from r/KingkillerChronicle

1. The Black Prism - Brent Weeks
   
2. 8/10
   
3. Fantasy
   
4. It has an interesting magic system and a non traditional main character/hero. Instead of a smooth talking, good looking, confident guy, it's a fat kid with self esteem issues. First book of a trilogy, and the second book comes out in september. Weeks' other series, The Night Angel Trilogy is good too.

Books of Babel series by Jos Bancroft is gaining popularity and is very easy to get hooked. Has very interesting characters.

Also for anyone who is a fan of prose everything written Guy Gavriel Kay just makes me want to cry.

For anyone else who really loves the "stories within stories' format, I definitely recommend the Orphan Tales books (Book 1 here and Book 2 here) by Catherynne M Valente.

I prefer Nick Podehl, though I believe an equal number prefer Rupert Degas. I suggest you listen to samples of each and pick your favorite. Nick has a young American voice and does great character accents. I think his speaking voice sounds like I imagine Kvothe's would; Rupert has a slightly deeper, more gravelly Australian voice, and that put me off quickly enough that I didn't keep listening.

Here's Nick Podehl's version, and here's Rupert. Click on the Listen button below the book image for a sample.

Blood Song is great book. I'd recommend it.

Those are gorgeous!

I've only ever seen the US covers that look somewhat like TV show posters.

not sure about those, but I bought the UK covers and they look amazing on my shelf

The Black Company Series by Glenn Cook first three books found here

Really good read, no real similarites between them and NoTW, WMF, except for a certain irreverence. But could be my favorite fantasy series.

I've got roughly 3lb's of chessex dice; I use this to store them all at this point. But thank you for the offer. :)

If you like the series enough to follow and contribute to its subreddit, why would you encourage others to pirate it? Why not encourage contributing to the author by linking to the purchase page instead?

the Echoes of Empire series was really great: http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Stones-Echoes-Empire-Book/dp/B00CX3MJJC

Introduction to Logic is actually highly recommended. Or you can find a free introduction, called ForallX.

1. Hyperion (series) - by Dan Simmons
   
2. 10/10
   
3. Science fiction
   
4. This book is amazing, as are the other 3 in the series. The character and world building are both fantastic, and it's the kind of book I go back to read every other year or so. The end of the 4th book is one of the few endings that actually made me cry after reading it.

..I think I misunderstood something. I bought this book thinking it was the one you were talking about but it turned out to be a graphic novel instead of a novel? Did I just straight up buy the wrong version? I thought I had the right one because it said classic version.

I'm pretty embarrassed.

>Now here is some real magic. A book kept on a rooftop for three years, featuring snow and rain and changing temperatures. Undamaged. What are they treating that canvas with?

Finally, something I can answer.
Or at least speculate on, without a copper-foil helmet.


I can't remember exactly where the canvas came from, but I would assume it came from the troupe's wagons. I can't recall actual descriptions, but in my imagination some of them are probably full wooden wagons that [resemble these] while others look more like old west covered wagons or Conestoga wagons, possibly used for material transport (Sets, tents, gear, food, etc.) and maybe some living quarters.
(Also - TIL that Conestoga is not simply a synonym for covered wagon, but a specific subset/type of covered wagon.)

Anyway, the covered wagons usually had a canvas cover, sometimes treated with oil to make it more weatherproof. More info on oilcloth.

Amazon has a nice high res scan of the front and back. http://www.amazon.com/The-Name-Wind-Kingkiller-Chronicle/dp/0756404746

I wrote that book, and while I'm not Rothfuss, I think that it might help pass the time until DoS.

This book that Patrick wrote has 3 layers and is acknowledged on Amazong.

This book has 3 major endings but Amazon has not realized it yet.

Layer 3, Layer 5 and Layer 7 each produce the exact same effect as the children's book.

In Fact the "Princess" may actually be Auri...

Just order it online from Amazon?

The Hyperion and Ilium books by Dan Simmons both have the kind of narrative weight that KKC does, though both are a hardish Sci-Fi.
