Dirk’s comments from the THE NAME OF THE WIND group.

Never heard of Nella Larsen. Therefore I Can not say yes or no to the Quality. Maybe I should fill on of her books on my to read list. Wich would you recommend?
Oscar Wilde is not mine. I tried "Das Bildnis des Dorian Grey" once. Came half through and put it away. It stays still in the Bookshelf. May be it's 20 years ago, so I should try another reading.....

Kvothe is with the Maer. Also Deana is with him. How she made it from that small island where she went first hand to the city where the Maer resides is toltal unclear. But I think behind this lady is more than i see in the moment.
What are you reading in the moment?

Hello Leynes, Aril or May sounds good. I haveto move on with the book because I want to know howit isgoing on. Only I have to be careful because I have to learn for my work. I am doing a project management training in July.

Hallo Leynes, das habe ich. Ich habe auch den Herrn der Ringe in Englisch gelesen aber der kam mir nicht so "schwer" vor. MIr scheint, das Rohfuss einen sehr großen Wortschatz hat den er auch komplett verwendet. Tolkien hingegen hat viele Sachen erfunden, aber einen eher kleineren allgemeinen Wortschatz.

As I am german my english is not like a nativ speaker. What impressed me most on the first 20 pages was the used english of Patrick Rothfuss. There were so much unknown word that I took out my pocket dictionary. Its realy good written.

I just started the book.
