We’ve all done it. Read a book so amazing our lives are irrevocably changed thereafter. Because we want to impress this amazing discovery on others, we tell family and friends, “You HAVE to read this book.”

I spoke with a man who said, “Name of the Wind” by Patrick Rothfuss was the most amazing book he’s ever read. So amazing, he said, that he bought 2 copies of the book to give to a family member and friend so they could read it. Wanting this book to amaze me too, I read it.
