The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

I finished this book last night and actually stayed up later than expected just to finish it. It's a fantasy book, but is more about people than magic or dragons or stupid stuff like that. It's mostly told in first person and is about a dude who can do nearly everything yet ends up a broken down dude tending an inn in his middle age.

I thought it was well written and definitely engaging. I don't like it quite as much as Martin's Song of Fire and Ice books, but those are the gold standards for fantasy books these days. I do highly recommend this book and I'll try to get the second one when it gets to the library.
