Is the Eragon series good? I loved Harry Potter and Darren Shan. Would I love Eragon too?

Sorry for the doublepost, but I would love to get to know some new fantasy series.
Is Eragon recommended for me?

I can list half a dozen fantasy series that you would like:

- Inherittance Cycle (Eragon, Eldest,...)
- Night Angel Trilogy (Way of Shadows, Shadows Edge....)
- The Edge Chronicles (Back to the Deepwods, Stormchaser, Midnight Over Sanctaphrax...)
- Rangers Apprentice (Riuns of Gorlan, Burning Brige...)
- Keys to the Kingdom (Mister Monday, Grim Tuesday, Drowned Wednesday...)
- Deltora Quest (Childish but quick and easy to read)

After watching the film Finding Neverland about a week ago, i was inspired to read the story of Peter Pan. So i went out to Dymocks immediately and bought J.M Barries Peter Pan. Loved it AWESOME book !

 

[Ace Gunman]

The first half of the Count of Monte Cristo. Wonderful book, but because of other events in my life it got pushed to the side for the time being.

I wish I could be reading Ace Gunman's Big Book of Puns right now, but he doesn't seem to have written it yet

The Reality Dysfunction, by Peter F. Hamilton. In theory, it's the first part of the Night's Dawn trilogy, but the whole trilogy is one big novel and the only reason it was chopped up in parts is that the first book alone has roughly 1200 pages. That flew by like a 200-page book, so fluid and interesting is the narration. I've also read his Commonwealth saga (a mere thousand pages) prior to this, and I recommend it heartily.

blow by 50 cent i think, it was good. didn't think he'd have it in him to write a decent book.

A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. Excellent fantasy book, I highly recommend it.

Well, i have just enough ADD to mess with my reading ability, but not enough to get me good drugs (i lie, i haven't checked on that, but it's not debilitating enough for me to check

), so "reading" doesn't happen a lot in my life. With that said, i think the last Harry Potter book was the last book i've read... and that was w/in the first few days of release -.-;;

Next best thing, audio books. Love them. They get me through my work day. Well, audio books & podcasts.
Recently, i've been on a huge Palahniuk kick. Well, not HUGE, but the last one to which i listened was Fight Club. Very interesting changes from the movie. A lot darker. Before that, i listened to Haunted. Wow. That is one messed up book. Loved it!

(and prior to that, i was on a classic Sci-Fi run. Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow and Snow Crash were all enjoyed. Honestly, audio books work wonderfully, because i can now fill in my literary gaps w/out struggling about not being able to keep my attention on printed word. Luckily i have a job that allows headphones

)

Either Fahrenheit 451 for my summer reading project last year or Eldest were the last books I really read out of my own will... I can't remember, but I'm going to read Brisingr soon and I have to read Mythology for this summer reading project even though I generally hate reading books.

Unless you count what I'm reading in class which is The Giver.

I had to read Farenheit 451 in school it was some project. That book is so boring. I hate all of his books they are so boring well most. I also read The Martian Chronicles and it was alright only read half of it cause then it got boring. I hate Ray Bradbury!!

The last thing I read out of a paper was the newspaper.

Two books from "The Raistlin Chronicles"......SoulForge and Brothers in Arms....I don't believe the 3rd book has come out in the series yet, or if it has, I haven't found it yet. They are based on the D&D world and relate to the Dragonlance Chronicles/Legends series of books where Raistlin (the evil wizard) and his brother Caramon (good-natured, but powerful warrior) were major characters. They make for great stories, even if they are kinda poorly written.
