Re: Eragon

There is nothing new under the sun...only a refreshing way of repeating what we already know. That said, I bought Eragon yesterday for the grandson...but first I am going to read it. :0 Christopher Paolini( I hope that is right) self published his book(as many of us do) then after many sales it was noticed by a large publishing company(I think Random House) They published it and have sold the movie rights...so this is one of those rare instances when a self published book does well enough to attract the attention of one of the big guys. There are some good books out there that are self published. Since only 1% of the books published in a given year are written by first time novelists, the rest of the us need to get published somehow.
