People often ask me to read The Name of the Wind but I won't pick it up as of now. It has been:
- 798 days* since Rothfuss pledged a book chapter in return for charity donations.

I can't emphasize how crazy it is to see a self-published author 'singlehandedly' raise $100,000 on Kickstarter, while simultaneously hearing how many traditional published fantasy authors are struggling to earn any significant amount of money.
