My favourite would be my true name. Then I would be... what's the word... enlightened? Zen? Anyways, it would be cool.

I really like istalrí. The word is just so pretty? I guess? I don't know how to describe I like the word :)
My favorite would definitely be my true name. To be able to sum up your entire being into one phrase would be great!
On the topic of true names: Brom says that Elves are born with the knowledge of their true names, a gift that humans do not have. Then when Eragon leaves Saphira and makes Sloan go to Ellesmera, and he is talking with Arya that one night, he asks her where she learned her true name. She says that she found it in one of the upper levels of Tronjhiem. Did anyone else pick that up?

I remember that!! I hate how Christopher doesn't tell us their true names. I saw an interview and he was asked about why he didn't say their true names and I forgot what he said and why he doesn't tell us their true names.
Probably to retain some mysteriousness to the characters. The series would lose some of its luster if we knew everything about him the characters.
True. I just want to know more about them. They were kinda my only friends (exept for 4 real people :)) in 6th grade last year. I'm a huge introvert :). It would be so awesome to know more about them though.
I totally agree!
I could use some more good fantasy!

Allow me to recommend the Icewind Dale trilogy. It's the same genre as the Inheritance Cycle, except minus the riding of dragons.
PLEASE DO AND HELP ME CREATE A GROUP
I tried!!! I've tried!! I don't know how to create a group!!!
I wonder if you need a membership or something like that.
I've looked on the computer, but still don't know. I'll look online.
If we do make a group, what should I be about?
Inheritance Cycle!!!! lol I don't know. :) anything I guess.
Are there any other book series that we all have read? Apart from Harry Potter there are at least fifty groups on that lol
Hmmmmmm. I can't really think of any that probably already have 10 million groups :)
Nice profile picture! You have good taste.
We should have a hobbit group!
They are like my fav ( except for Harry Potter and Eragon )
Harry Potter, Harry Potter.......
It ain't her fault they're beautifully written! The only annoying thing is overuse of magic!
And too much action, totally predictable plot, and like an ant next to an elephant compared with Eragon.
Well, that's kind of true... but the plot gets fifty times better in the last book!
and how can you have too much action? There's no such thing!
I think that there can be, it needs to be well balanced, like the wheel of time.
Is there a lack of it in the wheel of time? Keep reading! They grow into it! Much larger magic than either HP or Eragon. In at least ten books from where tou are, they obliterate an army of hundreds of thousands of trolocs with magjc in just a few minutes. And there are only a couple dozen Aes Sedi and others! ;)
Don't spoil it man!!! I want to read all of them by my 2018, does that sound reasonable?
ignore the "my" before 2018. If I can find them all, I want to finish by my birthday, November.
Reasonable! Do you go to school? I might be able to do that if I did not, but by November! They are all eight hundred to one thousand pages each!
I'm a fast reader :)On a good day, I can whip through a 500 page book in half an hour.
Holy Gods of Olympus!!! It takes me maybe 60pgs in one hour and that's on a good day when I'm alone!!
Maybe one hundred in an hour when I am alone.
I can only get like 30-60 pigs done in an hour! I'm slow! You can read 100 in an hour! I can get 200 in like 6hours!
Not pigs oops. I ment pages. It got autocorrected.
Yah but I almost guarantee that you digest the story more than Gabe or I, Gabe you can correct me if I am wrong!
Yeah. I feel like if I read slow I can understand things better and if I read fast I'm just speeding through and not really taking it in. But that's just me. Some fast readers can digest the story well even though they get through a lot in such little time.
Yah, it is kind of crazy how when there is a lot of action, you want to read faster, even though that is the part that you want to know the best!
Yes! During action and battle scenes I want to read fast but I'm slow
