Book discussion group ideas

We are trying to start a book discussion group for teens here at the library. One idea I had was to read some books that are series just before the next installment comes out. Examples: Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer arrives in August. We could read Twilight in May, New Moon in June, and Eclipse in July. Also Brisingr by Christopher Paolini comes out in September. We could read Eragon in July and Eldest in August. What do you think?

Did You Hear?

The new Christopher Paolini book will be out on September 28, 2008. This is the sequel to Eragon and Eldest. He actually had so much stuff that there will be a fourth book in the series with that date to be determined later. We have both Eragon and Eldest at the library if you want to catch up before the new one comes out.

Eragon the Movie

I finally saw the movie version of Eragon. I thought it was ok. Had I not read the book, I think that I would have liked the movie better. They cut out a lot of the book. I know that they had to do this but there were some things that needed to be kept. The movie was only about an hour and a half so it could have been a little longer and explained things. What did you think about it? Did you like the movie? Let me know.
