LunaLovegood is on a distinguished road
Eragon?

I hear a lot of people talking about it, but I don't even understand what it's about. Does someone want to help me? I want to see if it seems like a good book to read, and if you recommend it. Thank you!

There's a thread for the entire series here:

Got the swine-flu shot today. - KH-Vids.Net Forum

Basically, it's got dragons and their riders, the plot of Star Wars and the setting of Lord of the Rings.
If you can look past the flaws (unoriginality, purple prosy narration, a huge part of the characters could be considered Mary-Sues/Gary Stus, at times questionable morals etc.) it's a very enjoyable read.

The movie... Unless you want a good laugh, don't bother with it. The only things remotely good are the CGI-effects on Saphira, Jeremy Irons', Garrett Hedlund's, (and if you like Hammyness and over-acting) Robert Carlyle's and John Malcovich's acting. The rest is just defiling the source material.

I was just guessing the numbers and figures, pulling the puzzles apart. Questions of science – science and progress – don't speak as loud as my heart. Tell me you love me, then come back and haunt me, oh when I rush to the start. Running in circles, chasing tails, coming back as we are.
