Don’t waste your time, he spends his time on r/4chan. There is no hope.

It's always hard on a reread to get to the part where Arliden sings the song. But you're right, the time in the woods with his lute is pretty magical in a rather somber way.

I loved the first book and just bought the second. I really enjoyed his focus on family and building the farm. I have recommended this book to several people.

That’s why you start long series like Wheel of Time. You can read forever and then just slow down and stop never finishing it ever.

Well we can talk about it. I’m at the part where Kvothes parents just died and I’ve never been explained the shock and trauma that comes from an event like that so well.

Great book, agreed, but not a winner.

I love this book too, and it breaks my heart that every time it comes up on Reddit people invariably need to complain about book 3 or the chapter or Pat being mean to someone. I find the series beautiful, and not being able to talk about it on Reddit is kind of a bummer.

Not a perfect fit, but maybe 14 by Peter Clines? I remember that being a fun read, so maybe give it a shot even if it’s not the one you’re thinking about.

He also wrote a book called
The Adventures of the Princess and Mr. Whiffle: The Thing Beneath the bed.
I think it's an adult picture book or something I don't really know. I think he did a comic too. But, yeah three conventional novels.

Reply to When do you consider a book 'read'? by Penrod_Pooch
You can. You can go through and add every book you've ever touched to your read list. There are no set rules and there shouldn't be. Ultimately, don't get sucked in the rabbit hole of racing through books to hit a reading goal or page count. All of that is just a bonus fun Stat to track and you can track it however you please.

Did they call it the funhole? Sounds like The Cipher by Kathe Koja.

Favourite Rothfuss book? I think name of the wind is best by far. It had its problems for me and these were amped up in book two. Either way don't let me hinder your enjoyment. If you love it that's sweet.

I'm not certain, but the story you're describing sounds similar to "The Black Hole of Carcosa" by E. Hoffmann Price. It was originally published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales in 1931 and has been reprinted in various anthologies. - ChatGPT

Perhaps "The Dionaea House"?

One of my favorite discoveries on the book subs…how many people read Owen Meany years or decades ago and still remember it (and remember it rather fondly).

What We Reckon by Eryk Pruitt 109 ratings, 26 reviews. Southern gothic-ish and a great read.

No one is paying attention to how many books you say you've "read." The only person this number matters to is you.

Yes, I have similar feelings too. Even when I watch a favorite TV show, I feel that way.
Therefore, when encountering such a situation, I will find more relevant materials to read, or find some people who have also read this book to chat with and discuss each other's feelings about this book.Maybe that's one of the reason I joined this community.
