Oh, I loved the Crucible.
And I used to read Redwall obsessively. I stopped just after Triss came out. I think I read all of them up to Triss. I think my favorite was probably Pearls of Lutra. |

Wow, Julie, we're so similar. It's like we're extremely dissimilar-looking twins.
Yeah, after Triss, I realized that every single Redwall book is exactly the same. _________________

I own a copy of it if you need it.

Ah, I read Redwall last summer and I enjoyed it. I wish I could find the direct sequel. The local bookstore has every book in the series except Mossflower.
Hopefully I can finish Eldest by the end of the weekend. I'm on a pretty compelling part anyway. _________________

Oh, is that the new sequel from Paulini? I really enjoyed the first one. If my lame-ass english teacher doesn't assign us 5 more books, I might need to pick it up.
I also need to finish the last 2 books (well, a book and a short story) of the Hitchhikers' Guide series.

It's not that I don't like the premise of it all, it's just that I'm being forced to read it since it's on the AP list, and it's like one giant run-on sentence, or at least the version I was reading. |

Well, my copy that you saw last night is pretty much the exact same way. I think the sentences in your copy may have been slightly longer but the sentences in mine are still pretty lengthy. Are you supposed to read all of Part 1 or do you actually have to read both parts. If it's the latter, that's absolutely ridiculous. I started to get bored out of my mind around the end of the first part. I think Cervantes got a bit tired of writing about strictly Don Quixote and decided to go on these multi-chapter long novellas about something that really isn't that pertinant to the main plot. _________________

They're still good, though. Had I known they were irrelevant to the plot, I woulda skipped 'em and come back to read 'em after I had finished the story. _________________

Eragon and Eldest were good, so hopefully the movie won't suck. _________________

I can decide which I like better. Both are plenty decent. I can tell that he had a little more fun writing the first one since it's the foundation for the story. However, the second one has a little more poetic language in it and covers Eragon's training which is pretty interesting. _________________

You're Christopher Paolini? |

Yes. Yes I am. It seems that Xaqwais is the only one around here that could figure it out. Well, I have to give him praise.

How does the word writing make you think that he's Christopher Paolini?
