Ok, so I've been rereading Eragon and Eldest to brush up on all the details that occurred in them before I read Brisingr (since I haven't read the first two in over a year). Also, it should be known that I don't intend to buy Brisingr until it comes out in paperback, because I own the paperback copies of Eragon and Eldest. As such, I've been looking through libraries to see if I could find and check out Brisingr once I finished reading Eldest (of which I am now on page 453). Unfortunately, I got put on a waiting list as name number 22, with only 17 copies of the book available. Bad. The earliest (based on the estimations of the librarian in Bismarck) that I could get a copy of the book would be February 5, 2009. Very Bad.

 

Today, I get to school, and I'm roaming the halls like I always do before class starts, and I stop by the English room to ask my English teacher a question; she isn't there, so I leave, and look across the hall to the library (where she sometimes goes to get coffee). Once again, I don't see her, but instead, I see our school librarian with a bunch of new looking books. Amoung them, I see the hardcover editions of Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr. I ran in there and motioned towards Brisingr asking, "New shipment of books?"

 

"Yes," she answers.

 

"When is the absolute soonest that I could check out this book?" I asked, once again motioning towards Brisingr.

 

"Well," she ponders, "I haven't even registered it into our computer yet, so you probably won't be able to get it until we get back from Christmas break (January 6, 2009). But," she adds, "I know I can trust you to return the book in perfect condition if you were to take it now, and since it's not in the computer, nobody else will be asking for it." She hands it to me and finishes, saying, "Bring it back when you're done with it, don't worry about any due date, keep it as long as you need it."

 

:D

This is confirmation that you're white and in puberty but the lame kind.

Epic quote.

I thought the first two books were tragically awful. As such I won't be reading the third.

Nothing could be as bad as the movie, though.

Thankfully, Brisingr is much faster paced than Eldest. Or maybe I just read it faster. It's not painfully slow like "Yay, we're travelling to Du Weldenvarden..." forever. Not much happens really until page 300/749, but it's still alright. I read it in 10 days.

 

It's a pretty important book in the series. I already knew one of the two things that was going to be revealed, but the ending was still a little shocking (though I found out afterward that you wouldn't be shocked by the ending if you've been paying attention to pre-release spoilers).

 

I hate hardback. And yet, I have Eldest and Brisingr in hardback. >>

Well, I suppose you either like that genre, or you don't, because I certainly loved them.

 

The movie was a disappointment, majorly, but just because it contradicted the book so bad.

 

Eldest seemed slowpaced when I first read it, but as I read it now, I think, "Wow, I'm at this part already? I thought I had a long way to go yet..."

I didn't care that the book wasn't in paperback yet; I went out and bought it within the same minute the book was officaly released and read it all in the same day. :P

 

Btw, nice librarian you have.
