This is positive, but a bit disturbing.

my favorite quote
“When’s book two coming out? What’s taking so long?”
-
Ha ha! I loved it.

Holy crap, I need to be reading more Patrick Rothfuss.
Also, I think I can stop worrying so much about my insidious potty-mouth. I got nothin' on Pat. ;D

I read that review a couple days ago when Pat linked to it on Facebook. Laughed so hard, especially at this:
“Brandon Sanderson is one of the great new writers on the scene today. And he’s not hard on the eyes either. Rawr.”
Rawr.

Rothfuss says "In medieval times, people probably would have referred to me as “Phlegmatic” and attributed this tendency to an imbalance of my humors. These days people just think of me as an an irreverent asshat."
I did not know what an "asshat" was before reading this article and looking it up.
Wikipedia: "Asshat is a slightly trendier and less severe variation of asshole, graphically describing someone who has his “head up his own ass” (i.e., not knowing what’s going on): one is wearing one’s ass for a hat. ”
This made me laugh.
Another great quote was
“This is a really fucking good book. Seriously. Have you read it? No? Go buy it, shitweasel.”
Also very funny.
An excellent and accurate blurb for this book though would be
"Warning: This book may cause severe sleep deprivation until you finish it"

Oh man, I laughed so hard! The woes of being an author. Pat is awesome, not if only he'd get out that freakin' second book.
