I've been hooked on Daniel Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind. Really original and interesting fantasy.
I too read it (and the 2nd part) not long ago, I got hooked too and expecting the next part :D
btw isn't Patrick Rothfuss the name of the author? :P
Dresden Files
Seems interesting, I'd really like to read those. Shame it looks lke it isn't available in Spain XP

So an update on Don Quixote, I've only read like 20 pages, but I think it's pretty funny!

I brought up a subject in the discussion on the question "That Insane People are more Free then Sane People". They Escape the Horrors of the World by Creating there Own. Doctors are Paid to bring them from that Safe Environment into our Unsafe Environment. My teacher said "Yes, because they are without Boarders" and I said "You better start calling Me Insane because I'm without Boarders". She said "Without Boarder you will Fall." I said " Yes, but I have a Floor". She said "Yes, but without Boarder you'll' fall off the Floor." I responded "Yes, But I have a Quite Large Floor."

This really deserves to be in the Meditations thread, but what would you call your floor? What makes it "Quite Large?" I'm very intrigued.
Boarders = Doorways Boarded up.

Quite Large Floor = The Earth.

Could you perhaps elaborate?

LOL I was looking it up and I'm thinking "Daniel?", like it's his twin XD

Of all the books they don't have at my local Library, apparently they do have Don Quixote (and "One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.") I know what I'm reading next, Taalit :D

borys, what do you mean? "about asylum"?

The only thing I can find that might relate to it is that Don Quixote is totally crazy. However he's crazy as in delusional. And at a point in time when there weren't even anything equivalent to asylums. As far as I know.

No, no, I think Borys was referring to "One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest." I think he got confused. I was referring to how Taalit said earlier he's been reading Don Quixote - That was one of the few books my library happens to carry that are actually books I might be interested in reading.

So in saying, "about asylum," I think Borys thought I was referring to "One Flew Over" and when Taalit said:
Hehe, cool! I have to warn you, the language is a bit dated, but I think you can get by!
Borys was confused. At least, that's what it seems like, because I don't believe Don Quixote has nothing to do with an asylum, while "One Flew Over" does.

I'm sure I can, thanks for the tip though! :D
