I started reading Eragon, but lost interest about halfway through...I should
finish it, I guess, but it seemed so similar to the plot of Star Wars that I
didn't see the point in reliving the story with dragons instead of
lightsabers. But that's just me.
Daniel, have you tried "Here There Be Dragons" by Owen? It's a fantasy
about the adventures of Lewis, Tolkien, and Charles Williams when they
become the caretakers of a map of imaginary lands. Some points are strange
and oddly paced, and I don't know quite where it's coming from spiritually,
but definately a lot of food for thought. We'll be having a reading group
on it at TheLionsCall.com after we finish Magician's Nephew (For anyone
interested, we have these in The Lion's Call chat room on Fridays at 5
Pacific. We're doing chapters 6 and 7 this week.).
