Ok, this interview? Awesome. Two of my favorite actors in one place, speaking to each other, both partaking in a very noble cause.

Before I even knew of this forum, I had the pleasure of reading both the Night Angel Trilogy and Name of the Wind.. said books occupy the top tier of my bookshelf. :D

Very awesome thing you guys are doing here, too. Can't wait for your next projects either, gents. Best of luck and thanks for all the awesome.

--Brent; are you on Facebook? I just "fan'ed" Pat. :)

Pat, I’m with Eric. Your female characters aren’t whores. As one of your female readers, I’d like to say that I appreciate the women you’ve written. Denna is kind of a nutjob sometimes, but I really have a soft spot in my heart for Fela. Keep it up, you’re doing a great job.

Pat,

I changed my mind. We need to fling poo at whoever called your female characters whores. This time I'm being sincere.

We could also do a drive by flinging of the person who mocked Brent.

My only dissapointment in life is that my favorite authors can't put out a new 700 page, fully edited book a week. Is that too much to ask?

Just another fan,
Eric

Brent’s books popped up often in association with my amazon searches for Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, etc., but it took me a while to finally get them. After reading them, I can’t beleive I waited so long. They were probably the first books since Name of the Wind that I shoved in my brother’s face (my fantasy geek buddy), and said “whatever you are reading, stop and read this, NOW”. Awesome. Great interview too ;)

Week’s trilogy had so much potential, but it was ultimately a let down. I hope he writes more, because he obviously has talent, but that series was a waste of good characters.

I would pay BIG BUCKS for The Wise Man’s Fear.

Alexis: I am having to match more than I initially though. But I have trouble feeling bad about it, it’s for a good cause.

I’m hoping that before too long I might be able get a few more people to chip in money on my side of things, money to help worldbuilders match donations so I don’t have to do it all myself. But I’m not sure when or if that’s going to happen…

O MY GOD! i was hoping to every deity i could think of that Brent would donate some books. One of my favorite trilogies of all time. I was even more impressed at the fact that he seems pretty witty. I think i might go place a little bid.

thanks again!

Malcuy/A – Actually, book 2 is darker, and parts of book 3 are darker still, but the ending is so breathtakingly brilliantly pulled together that finishing the series will help you cope. It also helps to read it while basking in sunlight where no one can see you cry into the box of tissues you have with you. :)

And here I thought the only Brent Weeks quotes I’d repeat were in his trilogy. Glad you chose to interview him, he’s one of my fav authors and a pretty cool guy.
