Looks interesting. Only thing is I'm reading a book with the main character Sparhawk so the name "Sparrowhawk" Kinda freaked me out...

Huh.

I read it off the back of a book from the 1990s, so whatever.

The only thing I didn't like about the books is that the books are too long. After reading the first few 100 pages of both books, I was just overwhelmingly bored. That's all I can say. (Though, I must admit, I really like the picture of Glaedr (spelling?) on the cover.)

In that case, Shakespeare is a lot more worse, but compared to the Inheritance books, the plays are a lot more better. I'm only saying it's worse cause I'm having trouble interpreting Middle English. :hmm:

I had trouble. Then when I read Julius Caesar a couple of times I fell in love with it. I used to byheart the sentences & use it often. It used to drive ppl mad.

Midsummer Night's Dream is the only thing I've actually read so far. I kinda understand the plot, but I didn't get the details. I read parts of Hamlet and Macbeth in my tutoring class, but it was just a part of the play so I didn't actually get the whole plot. My English class is going to read Romeo and Juliet next quarter, though.

Um, I got this from Alagaesia. Acc. to it, it's a BIG news. CP has just announced that Eragon meets a god in the upcoming book. Go figure it out (if ur interested).

Mightbe it's a dwarf god. Orik must have taken Eragon to him or some rubbish.
