Yeah, so I finally finished Brisingr.  It's been three or four weeks since I began it, and it's just been very hard to get through.  I'm normally a dedicated and quick reader.  I read the Fellowship when I was 11 or 12 in the summer and finished it in three days.  Granted I wasn't working and going to college then, but I just want to show that if a ( Read more... )
