Am waiting for Part 3 of Eragorn and Eldest too.

Smart idea. My brother, who was the one who recommended the series to me in the first place, suggested that I wait to read A Feast for Crows (book 4) until the next book comes out and to meanwhile bide my time by starting The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. That should keep my plenty busy until Harry Potter comes out, which will be the priority above all others

. He also recommended trying the Shannara series again (I hated the Sword of Shannara- too much of a LotR knockoff for my taste) or The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. At the end of the day, I'm not sure I'll be able to wait to read book 4 (of Martin's series), especially when it so patiently calls my name from my bookshelf (did I just say that out loud?

).

Hmm, I'm not sure what do about this series. I heard that Eragon was great but that Eldest was just awful. What to do, what to do....

I found Eldest a far better written book than Eragon actually. Paolini has matured as a writer.

I actually suspect that with the Swan's War trilogy, I purchased and then shelved books 1 and 2 while I waited for book 3 to come out then I forgot...

of course now I have found them, begun reading them and need to find and purchase #3.

Often I buy book one of a trilogy and enjoy it but then get sidetracked with something else and forget to look for book 2 and 3.
