Dashing. Reliable. Trustworthy. Intelligent. Charming. Magical. Musical. Fearless. What more could a girl ask for? This year I chose Pat Rothfuss and his Kvothe to spend V day with. How about you?
These books are the kind that keep you reading until 4am just so you can find out what happens. He really is a fantastic writer. I think we’ll be seeing great things from Rothfuss for some time (I hope so anyway!).
I’m about to crawl off into bed with Asmiov’s Foundation Trilogy. A good read to be sure, but not quite as inherently bad-ass and cool as good old Kvothe.
Oh my god! I second a roll in the hay with Kvothe in the only way a heterosexual man can! On the female end of the spectrum, Dhamson Rhee from Terry Brooks Shannara series stole my heart in my younger days, and has yet to return it. :D
Ha ha! At least you’re man enough to fess up, Justin!! You may have to fight me for him though…I just finished a Wise Man’s Fear. Brilliant. Just brilliant.
oh, so adorable! Add me to the list of people who adore Kvothe and would love for him to be my valentine’s day date. . . but alas, when two redheaded people attempt to date, they get only strange looks from people who assume all redheads are siblings. :( I’ll just have to go with my other literary crush, Locke Lamora. Dashing, dark haired, and like me he talks like a sailor!

I adore Patrick Rothfuss and his incredible Kvoth! You’ve got an awesome valentine right there :D.

I’m really not sure what he’d be like in person, but Aragorn always has my heart. :-)
Oh yes, good choice Gretchen!
Enjoy your day! I think I might spend the rest of mine in Paris with Hemingway! (I have a couple chapters left to read of The Paris Wife).
What could be better than Valentine’s Day in Paris with Hemingway? Nothing, I’m sure.

Another unfamiliar title…I’m hopeless! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one snuggling up to a good book yesterday though!
Not reading any fiction at the moment, but I’m looking forward to reading about the London punk scene. :)
That is cool factor material right there, Beth!
The quirky bombardian, Yossarian, from “Catch 22” proved to be splendid company for me! ;)
I have yet to read it, but if you’re telling me it’s good company then I better add it to the reading list!

Us gingers get a hard time of it, don’t we? Then again, I hardly think a dashing, dark-haired, sailor-talking crush is pulling the short straw ;)
oh trust me, he’s not the short straw. :)
