“‘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.’”
- The Wise Man’s Fear, Patrick Rothfuss
Great humor is just one of the reasons I really love the Kingkiller Chronicle.
I don’t want to give anything away, like every blurb I’ve ever read about this book, so just be content to know that it’s a book about Kote, an innkeeper, who knows many stories, but tells just one over the course of a trilogy. As with many other books/games I’ve read/played and think are great, I don’t understand the complaints many readers give about this book, but hey, everything’s that way, right?
