Eclectic Readers? Average age?

[Rute]

Hello Dear Rothfussians,

I was wondering what kind os people fell in love with Rothfuss books. Is there a target age, or readers between 0-120 read it? Can you share that information? Are you students or do you work? on what?

Why is the orange falling so far from the tree? Is Rothfuss that good?

I'll share my age 32, and I'm a Lawyer.

I don't know why but i can't help the feeling that i'm not the target to the books, and i LOVE IT SO VERY MUCH!!! He became my favorite Autor.

Am i wrong?

Share your age and what you do and prove me wrong. ;-)
