It was in such smoky, heathen-filled den of iniquity that I first heard the tale of the Bone Feud. As with all great tales, it was at its core one hundred percent true. In fact, much of it has long been a matter of historical record. But tales grow in the telling, and I therefore must apologize in advance for any inaccuracies, and beg your indulgence for any romanticized embellishments. I have decided to present the story here, just as it was told to me. I find it entirely too rich and too entertaining to alter, simply to curry favor with pedants and historians.","author":"Wynne McLaughlin","tags":["history","pedants","saloons","stories","tales","the-bone-feud"],"id":19689,"author_id":"Wynne+McLaughlin"},{"text":"RETURN TO TENDEROur aging parents deserve the same loving care they gave us in infancyKamil Ali.","author":"Kamil Ali","tags":["ali","infancy","kamil","kamilthe","parents","philosophy","profound","tales","vers"],"id":25111,"author_id":"Kamil+Ali"},{"text":"A closed book will lie there like a dead horse.

I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me.","author":"Patrick Rothfuss","tags":["adventure","fantasy","tales"],"id":27718,"author_id":"Patrick+Rothfuss"},{"text":"There are always messages, even enigmas to be searched, mysteries to be solved in all of my books. I like to puzzle readers, but I do not make so to the point of being so complex that they will lose interest in the plot. And that for me is the essence of every great literature around the world, and that’s been so for ages.(....)Some were inpired by real life characters, some other books I wrote are hybrid fiction/non-fiction, so I pretty much get inspired by people who have lived, and even who are still breathing among us… so don’t get discouraged if I didn’t mention your personality traits yet.
