I mean its been regarded as an important book for literature's History, why won't this fictional story also be one of those?

Wowowowow, hold your guns, give it some perspective for christ's sake.

back in school, we used to use blue ballpens. Some people used black, but blue was going around the most. I dont see anything weird about it.

That's exactly my point, man, blue ballpoint ink looks like it was written by some highschooler while she should have been listening to Mr. Humbolt talk about the execution of Louis Riel or some such shit. The fact that it has lots of doodles and shit in it seconds this view! I am not saying anything about the rarity or anything, just that it looks like a piece of shit.

Also, Lars raised an interesting point about shit selling for way too much. I mean, look at some things signed by every member of a popular band or sports team, that can sell for millions as well. This is an entire book. I mean, if JK Rowling sold a complete set of hardcover Harry Potter books and DVDs, all signed (which would take, what, thirty seconds?) they would probably sell for a couple tens of thousands at least through auction.

I think we should stop making fun of Harry Potter and begin instead making fun of Eragon for being really bad. Hopefully his can regalvanize the GW community.
