So I just read the two pages of the sneak peak to "Eragon's Guide to Alagaesia" and I was fascinated by the Ellesmera scene. It sure beats my previous nature background (which was an official RuneScape fairy background) and my ex-current background. So I decided the Ellesmera picture into a background.
Before you start pouncing, I made sure to put the necessary copyright info on the picture. I made the background to fit my screen of 1680 x 1050 pixels (20" Widescreen) but I still have the original which is about 3044 x 1849 and I'm happy to resize it to fit anybody's screen who wants - if this is legal, which I hope it is because I put the copyright on the background.  Seeing as I can't figure out how to do those sized-down things, I'll just post a link.http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/8300/ellesmera.png

I really have no idea where to post this, so mods - feel free to move it around.
Oh my gosh.  I won something.   I actually won something.  Here's the email:  QUOTE (infosuvudu@randomhouse.com) Hello and congratulations from Suvudu! Prior to our live chat with Christopher Paolini and Terry Brooks (back on October 14) you signed up for an email reminder, and in doing so, entered for a chance to win a signed edition of Christopher Paolini¹s Brisingr and a copy of Terry Brooks¹ The World of Shannara. Guess what? You won! So what more do you have to do? Very little, it turns out. We just need to know where to send the books, so if you reply with your shipping information, I will send your books off to you. So there you have it! Congratulations and I look forward to hearing from you!

I found two contradictions in the Inheritance Cycle.
1) How long can dragons breathe fire for? Eragon, 'Tea for Two,' page 53: QUOTE "Well," said Brom, scratching his chin, "they couldn't breathe fire until they were around five to six months old, which was about when they could mate. The older a dragon was, the longer it could breathe fire. Some of them could keep at it for minutes." Brom blew a smoke ring and watched it float up to the ceiling. Eldest, 'The Obliterator,' page 393: QUOTE Saphira's own training proceeded apace. Linked as he was to her mind, Eragon got to watch as Glaedr put her through an exercise regimen every bit as strenuous as his. She practiced hovering in the air while lifting boulders, as well as sprints, dives, and other acrobatics. To increase her endurance, Glaedr had her breathe fire for hours upon a natural stone pillar in an attempt to melt it. At first Saphira could only maintain the flames for a few minutes at a time, but before long the blistering torch roared from her maw for over a half hour uninterrupted, heating the pillar white-hot. And if you think about it, a handful of minutes is a long time to breathe fire. Hold your arm up in the air for five minutes straight and you will realise exactly how long a few minutes can be. Breathing fire without pause for a few minutes does indeed sound like quite a feat, especially as breathing fire should logically take more physical energy than lifting your arm. I think Paolini forgot about the little homely chapter in the first book. Which I don't blame him for, once you have read Eldest, you know far more information than what Brom reveals in that chapter and it seems so insignificant that you sort of forget about it. You know what I mean? 2) How do dragons breathe fire? Magical or Physical? Eldest, 'The Obliterator,' page 399: QUOTE "Then," said Eragon, "it is still possible to use magic without the ancient language?" "How do you think Saphira breathes fire? And, by your own account, she used no word when she turned Brom's tomb to diamond nor when she blessed the child in Farthen Dur. Dragons' minds are different from ours, they need no protection from magic. They cannot use it consciously, aside from their fire, but when the gift touches them, their strength is unparalleled...You look troubled, Eragon. Why?" Brisingr, 'Shadow of Doom,' page 728: QUOTE When the twirling ground was only a few thousand feet away, Glaedr inhaled and drew back his head. He tightened his neck, clenched his belly, and drew forth the dense-liquid-of-fire from deep within his gut. The liquid ignited as it combined with the air in his throat. He opened his jaws to their full extent and sprayed the red dragon with fire, engulfing him in a blistering cocoon. The torrent of hungry-grasping-writhing-flames tickled the inside of Glaedr's cheecks.

 Alex Rider's eighth adventure and the most action-packed yet... Targeted by a hitman and under threat of his past being exposed by the media, Alex reluctantly turns to MI6. But their help doesn't come cheap: they need Alex to spy on the activities at a GM crop plant. There he spots Desmond McCain, a high profile charity organiser, who realises that Alex is on to him and the real plans for the money he's raising. Kidnapped and whisked off to Africa, Alex learns the full horror of McCain's plot: to create an epic disaster that will kill millions. Forced to ask MI6 for protection, Alex finds himself being manipulated in a deadly game that could lead to the destruction of an entire East African country. I'm not too hyped because I last read any of the series way back when Snakehead came out. But it was an interesting series. I would like to read it again sometime. Hey - there's no catchphrase on the front cover!  Thoughts? |
