Becca’s comments from the The Name of the Wind group.

Oh. My. God. I just finished chapter 56 and I have to say that I have never read about a character who was a musician with this much truth in it. As a fellow musician, I can quite easily say that when Kvothe was playing and waiting to find out if he earned his pipes that my heart has only raced like it when I was waiting for an audition result. The intensity of that scene was higher than any scene that I can remember reading before. It grabbed my attention more than any action-packed fight scene in other fantasy novels I've read. I can also say that everything that Kvothe felt and experienced when he was playing--from being nervous before going on and being completely fine and calm when he steps onto the stage to the panic when he plays a wrong note to not being able to search the crowd because it distracts him and causes his fingers to falter--is real.

I am so completely and utterly in love with this book that I can barely think straight and I am so sorry for my rambling.

I’m a couple days behind due to schoolwork, but I’m on chapter 26 and I am so sucked into the story that I know it will not be a challenge to catch up.

through chapter 7, so until the start of chapter 8

Merin, every time I see your name I think it says Merlin XD

what is the paper about?"

I'm writing about the development of the wallpaper in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" into a symbol of how domestic life is trapping the narrator.

I really wish I was motivated to write this paper right now. I currently have 205 words and I need 1,000...

I bet it's nice to finally be out of school. I have another 10 years ahead of me ... -_-

I'm in my last year of high school, I'm taking AP Calculus, Dual Enrollment English, Band, Scientific Research, and Spanish his semester. When I go to college next year I want to major in Chemistry and minor in Music

Hey, I'm Rebecca. I am 17 years old, from the eastern US. I am currently procrastinating writing a 4-page literature paper due tomorrow, and I am excited to finally have some people to read and discuss this book with.

I think having different threads for each set of chapters would be a good idea.
