Eragon

I did...

I've never even heard of them before the movie

i did. Thats why i was interested in seeing the movie, especially when i heard about the cast.

This is only my third time hearing about this. One was from a discovery chan show where Orange County Choppers were building an Eragon themed bike. THe other from an old manager/friend of mine, and the third being here.

The manager said it's going to suck.

Hard to believe people aren't reading LotR anymore.

Most people will see it, think "Blimey, that's a big 'un", see the type of language used, and be instantly put off.

I think the last time I read the whole trilogy was the day I went to see Return of the King.

I saw the movie first and tried reading the book, but was like...I've already experienced this a million times in the multiple times I've seen the movie...Why am I sitting here reading it?

I got through a chapter or two and gave up in the fellowship

Why am I sitting here reading it?

Because the books are much, much better. Reading (in this context at least) is about entertainment. It's a sad day when people start to write off books altogether because the "same" story is available in movie-form.

It's gotta be a damn good book for me to read it over watching it in movie form. I'm one who needs hard copy visuals to really enjoy the story.
