message 57: by Adrian (new)

Adrian (adaer) | 1 comments 24 year old male, currently working part-time at my university's library. No Master Lorren around to give me chilling looks when I fumble around with books, fortunately. I think I might have been 18 or 19 when I first read Name of the Wind.

Renee E | 27 comments I'm old enough to lie about my age, lol.

Currently unemployed paralegal, background mostly in criminal defense, workers' rights, domestic and property investigations with some immigration and other oddities on the side. I also write, fiction exclusively now after finding that writing well-researched articles for the internet (after well over a thousand) not only doesn't even remotely pay enough for the time, effort and angst, but also keeps me from writing anything worthwhile.

Which I may or may not be doing now ;-)

I used to read more fantasy than I do now. Rothfuss has run me back to my roots, literary fiction, as there's not much fantasy out there that, for me, stands up to to Kingkiller. I find myself getting my fantasy fix mostly from going back to old masters like A. E. Merritt, Moorcock, and the next generation: McKillip, Marillier, Kennealy-Morrison.

And Jack Cady, who I'd describe more as literary fiction with sides of magical reality and a pinch of fantasy, and has an unsurpassed grasp of human nature and an ability to transmit it into writing.

Much like Rothfuss.
