I have The Name of the Wind on my wait list. It's one of the more popular books on goodreads and one that I tried to check out a while ago but was never available and I didn't want to be on the wait list. I've been reading some really horribly bad fantasy recently so I went ahead and got on the wait list. I'm 7th in line which means I'll be reading it around this time next year. ;D but, seriously.

I am still on the waislist (could you believe?) for Name of the Wind, but recently learned that this story was going to be made into a movie or tv series. Source: writing FB group.

So.....I just realized that I've already attempted The Name of the Wind earlier this year and didn't like it so I didn't get very far. I only realized this because I finally got off the waitlist. After a few chapters in, I remembered the stuff about the spiders and the story telling. I'm bummed. I wanted this to be a different book. Anyway, I'm going to read as much as I can of it and see how it goes. Honestly, the first time, it wasn't that great, and now it's about the same. I'm undecided as to whether I should really continue but since I don't have any books that I'm interested in reading right now (although I do have 2 other books that I've checked out that I should read but one is on the computer and I don't enjoy reading at my computer and the other book I've already started but it's not so good) I'm going to just try to finish it. :-[

The narrative in the book does seem endless. But it's worth it to muddle through and get to the "good" parts.
I know the feeling. It's the scent of the ink and the paper. e-Books just doesn't give you the same satisfaction.
I have way too many books. I've always wanted to build a shelf for them. And the times I've spent too much on a hard cover because the paperback was a year out...

Yeah. I tried twice. I won't be able to read it. It's a bummer. I need that world building and character development to hook me. It just wasn't happening.
