Ended my ten year reading dry spell with the Eragon series

I used to read a lot when I was younger but after school was over and work and adulting began I found myself less and less interested in reading but still loved the thrill of story telling. I satisfied that thrill with movies, tv, and video games (particularly the latter), but there was definitely something in books that I couldn't totally fulfill with those mediums.

I chose eragon because it was a series I read quite a bit when I was younger and only got around to reading the last installment once before ever returning. It was a great choice for me, the familiar pages and plot threads made it a lot easier to stretch those reading muscles that had atrophied over the years. I've had a not so insignificant stack of recommendations and plans for other series to read that's grown over the years and I'm very glad that I went with something I had already read before to jump back into it.

If anyone hasn't read it before, it's not bad for YA novels. It's world building and rules set in universe are pretty thought out and it seemed like Poalini took the effort to really try to understand where his world would progress to naturally given the setting and rules in place. Characters and plot is a bit derivative, but the ending itself (much of which I didn't remember upon rereading) was very satisfying, closing most if not plot lines in logical ways.

Moving on to something I have not read before I'll be starting the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov. It seems a bit daunting but sci Fi is my bread and butter and it seems like this series stands out. I might try Dune as well in preparation for the new movie coming out, but we'll see how I feel after I finish foundation lol.
