61 American Australian and found PR's writing through friends here in Aus. I am an artist with a disability.
24 year old male, currently working part-time at my university's library. No Master Lorren around to give me chilling looks when I fumble around with books, fortunately. I think I might have been 18 or 19 when I first read Name of the Wind.
31 year old white woman in Wisconsin/USA here. I also work in a library, and I'm always thankful we have the Dewey Decimal system (flawed as it is) after reading about the disorganized library in the KKC!
I read both at 19, just recently turned 20. Am a student. Call center worker. There are a lot of reasons this serif works for me and why I think the author is brilliant
I'm old enough to lie about my age, lol. Currently unemployed paralegal, background mostly in criminal defense, workers' rights, domestic and property investigations with some immigration and other oddities on the side. I also write, fiction exclusively now after finding that writing well-researched articles for the internet (after well over a thousand) not only doesn't even remotely pay enough for the time, effort and angst, but also keeps me from writing anything worthwhile.
Which I may or may not be doing now ;-)
I used to read more fantasy than I do now. Rothfuss has run me back to my roots, literary fiction, as there's not much fantasy out there that, for me, stands up to to Kingkiller. I find myself getting my fantasy fix mostly from going back to old masters like A. E. Merritt, Moorcock, and the next generation: McKillip, Marillier, Kennealy-Morrison.
And Jack Cady, who I'd describe more as literary fiction with sides of magical reality and a pinch of fantasy, and has an unsurpassed grasp of human nature and an ability to transmit it into writing.
Much like Rothfuss.
32 but read them when I was 29? Randomly saw the hard back and took a shot with it! Thank god I did. UNION Carpenter
I'm 21, i was 20 when I read them the first time. I study English. I simply love them. my boyfriend who's 30 loves them too.
One of the friends I turned on to the books is a 72 year old attorney/mystery writer. He loves them.
I'm 22 now, but I read NOTW back when I was 17 and have loved it since then. Currently I'm a student and have introduced the books to several of my friends who all love it (all about the same age as me and currently students as well.)
