    The Fantasy Novel Topic!

    As to save the The Fountain topic, heres a topic where you can rant about Eragon and such to your hearts content.
    Also, I have to flesh out what I said about one of those godd fantasy reads (spoilers for the begining, obviously, but I'll try to keep em light.)



    Abarat: By Clive Barker. Starts out in Chickentown, MN. Stuff happens, girl walks out to a prarie, BAM! Meets a guy with horns like a moose. With seven heads on it. And they each have a personality. And they are ALL. NAMED. JOHN. John Serpent, Sallow, Drowsee, Slop, Fillet, two others, and the body is named Mischief. Other things happen, and she ends up on a sea that came out of freakin nowhere. Then she goes to the Abarat, where there are 24 islands, each being a different hour of the day. I.E, The Yebba Dim Day is 8 o clock in the morning. So, time is actually a place. The whole book kinda continues in that vein: EVERYTHING has some sort of weird quirk yet takes itself seriously, and you will, too.

    What's WAY later, Valk? Because the kid who wrote Eragon is like... my age, and Eragon came out in like... 2002, or something, right?

      I think he was at least 18 when he wrote the final version. I know that isnt really "way later", but his major claim to fame is a complete lie regardless.

          Peace isn't there yet. It's a trilogy, silly.

              Why is it that all the movies I wind up interested in seeing seem to be based off a novel I hadn't heard of beforehand?

                Cause aliens are looking down on you with a magical magnifying glass, and instead of it burning you, it causes utter confusion.

                  How does one exist and not at least know of Eragon?

                    By never seeing or hearing anything about it.... like me. (That is, until the movie previews.)

                        I didn't realize that when I made that post.

                          I don't read books. I've only read through one since I graduated five years ago. I started another, but lost interest.

                            I still don't really know what Eragon is. I saw a dragon on the front.

                              Eragon is such a lazy name. I'm just guessing that is the name of the main character as well. A dragon rider named Eragon.... His name is practicaly Dragon! Even if that isn't the main character, that is pretty lame if you ask me.
