    I always heard about that book, but as it's always with other children books, I never bothered to look at it. What's it about?

    Anything by R.A Salvatore although I enjoy his books on Drizzt Do'Urden. The little reflections he has between parts are brillant. The Eldest was pretty good I was more satisfied with what he went with it than Rowling did with HBP.

    Yeah, after all this time, I finally sat down and read Eragon. And Eldest. Eragon was awesome, Eldest was all right, but didn't like the whole part with Murtagh.

    Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey is good too.

    Oh, and if anyone is interested in science fiction, read Nightfall, by Isaac Asimov and smoe outher author, whose name I've forgotten.

    Wasn't that made into a movie, oh wait what has Stephen King done that has not been made into a movie?

    One of my favorite fantasy authors is RA Salvatore, he really knows how to write the Drow well.

    Need to find some good books to read.

    OK i've read hp, eragon, wheel of time, dragonlance,Forgotten realms, and some other stories that i cna't spell or don't remember.

    so help me out here, what should i read that has magic, fighting, maybe some sex, and lots of action, and is written pretty well.

    please help, i need to find something to do when there aren't any of my friends to hang with and none of the fanfics are updated.

    Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind

    I am surprised you have not read it yet, I think its much better than Wheel of Time in many respects.

    Ever try the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov? Really good, that's what he's most famous for.
