This was posted a while ago... but I'm super excited that I've finally found others who share my devotion to this amazing series.

I love how The Kingkiller Chronicle focuses on stories themselves... the art of storytelling, the hunt for knowledge and the pursuit of truth among tales that have been passed down for generations and embellished upon countless times. And I really like how the protagonist (Kvothe) isn't perfect. He's a bit conceited and, sometimes, self-involved.

The books are full of quotes I absolutely adore. And good humor:

“You can divide infinity an infinite number of times, and the resulting pieces will still be infinitely large,” Uresh said in his odd Lenatti accent. “But if you divide a non-infinite number an infinite number of times the resulting pieces are non-infinitely small. Since they are non-infinitely small, but there are an infinite number of them, if you add them back together, their sum is infinite. This implies any number is, in fact, infinite.”
“Wow,” Elodin said after a long pause. He leveled a serious finger at the Lenatti man. “Uresh. Your next assignment is to have sex. If you do not know how to do this, see me after class.”

I definitely recommend this series. I wish I could make my aSoIaF-obsessed friends see how amazing it is too. Alas, there is not nearly enough sex and gore to keep them entertained.
