I really really want to read "The Wise Man's Fear" (Kingkiller Chronicles, Day 2), by Patrick Rothfuss. It comes out on march first, and I pre-ordered it for kindle/droid. I'm really excited. its the second in the series (doi), and I only just read the first one about a month ago, but I can hardly stand the anticipation. It's gonna suck when I finish the second one and have to wait a year for the third....
The first book is called "The Name of the Wind", and it's probably the most excellent book I've ever read, and apparently I'm not the only one to think so. It's a story being told by an inn keeper about his life. It does have elements of fantasy in them but I wouldn't classify them as the main points of the story, music plays at least as large a role. The story is magnificent in its unfoldings and keeps you heavily captivated. If you don't like fantasy books, give this one a try anway. if you've never really gotten into fantasy then definitely check this book out, it'd be an excellent gateway book into other fantasy. and if you enjoy fantasy, then you're in for a treat. This book is a fresh taste of fantasy, some fantasy rings so similarly with each other that you hardly feel the need to finish the book. This particular book doesn't have that flaw, so check it out. then, after you discover your undying love for the book, buy the next one, cuz I hear it's even better (according to reviews), besides if he gets enough money he wants to pool it with Nathan Fillion and buy the the rights to firefly from Fox.
