Christopher Paolini and Eragon, anyone?

Trust me, I have no intention of seeing the movie. Peter Jackson and company doing such a fine job on LOTR was a once in a lifetime thing, I believe. I don't expect to EVER see a movie adhere to a book so closely again. There were deviations, but so minor as to be written off completely.

I am a big fan of LoTR as books, but the movies were okay. Sure, they were great movies and I enjoy seeing them still, but the storyline.... It could've been better. A good movie from a book is the first Harry Potter.... (yes, I know, the size of the book blah blah blah.... but still, we've all seen, mostly, worst and ,rarelly, good adaptations of books on the big screen)

If you liked the LoTR books, try the Malazan Book of the Fallen serie by Steven Erikson. I'm the type of guy that re-reads the whole serie when a book comes out and believe me, everytime I read it, it was better...
It's almost a new kind of fantasy...
