So Krim should write the book...and you wouldn't know it'd be Krim because it's obviously not his real name...then I want to see who here reads it and burns or likes it.

Nope. Where did she go? Parliament Hill probably. Downtown core. Tim Hortons :D.

That is not how he writes. You shall be chastised.

Yes, and every museum in the bloody city, lucky girl.

You're right, Paolinin doesn't write like that.

His is a hell of a lot worse.

Just look at this: "A terrible energy and strength began to grow in him. It grabbed his emotions and forged them into a solid bar of anger with one word stamped on it: revenge."

That must be one of the worst passages I have ever read.

It's even worse than Moby Dick, which was just boring.

This is boring and stupid.

When I was little, I LIVED in Ottawa's manifold museums. Heaven for a smart kid. :D I applied for a job at Tim Horton's today. I hope I get it... can you say "free ice caps"?

Sorry pal, but it is. Light in Paolini's world is fermented, raindrops are cabuchons, Oromis has a body like woodcuts, people divulge clubs, women house daggers between the vast hills of their ample bosoms, Ajihad's blood was like ink running down charcoal, balls coalesce, strawberries have beards, people eat blackberries a corpuscle at a time, and sunlight over forests is like an amber film.

The third book looks tremedously worse. Lancet passageways shaped like keyholes, Saphira refracting blue specks of light like a disco ball, then a random, halty description of the lethrblaka. Every tree has a specified species, Roran brandishes his hammer while riding a massive dragon, so on and so on.

There is something about the word 'hammer' that I can't remember right now, but hammers are essential for building a house if you don't have a drill or phillips head screwdriver. Ooh, and see my nifty new avatar.

You know this about the third book....how?

I believe he's put up an excerpt on his website. Something like that.

Oh.

Everyone does that nowadays, don't they?

Except for JK.

I hope you get it Ben, but be forwarned, they give you really shitty hours/breaks.

Well, if you were her you wouldn't either.

Whatever. I desperately need money.

You're a house builder, eh Wammy? Why would you build a house without a drill?

If you did, the whole thing would fall down on it's occupant's heads.

Or, you'd have to screw all of the screws in by hand, and it would never be completed.

Is the teddy bear guy, Wammy?, still here?

Yes, but now they have a new avatar.

Back to Eragon.....

All the copies from the library are on the sheleves.

Yes!

Barti is never on the library shelves!

Here it is. Eragon isn't here. Apocrypha, what about Teddy? At the bookstore, I pulled out Amulet of Samarkand, then it wouldn't go back in. There were many Amulet of Samarkands.
