Would I read the third installation of the Inheritance Cycle?

After reading the first 20 pages of Eldest by Christopher Paolini, it made me realize that this would be a very looooong read. And I'm so right. It took me 3 weeks to read it and in my standard, that is long enough for a 704-page book. And to think that I've read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (652 pages) for 2 days. But then, the only thing that links them is the word "magic".

When I was reading it, I decided that I wouldn't buy the third installation - Brisingr. But, when I was finished reading the book, I could not wait to read the third installation. Crazy. Odd. Queer. You call it what you want but that is exactly what I felt. Maybe Paolini jinxed the Inheritance Cycle so that all people who gets bored reading it will not learn their lesson and buy the next book.

Another odd thing, that unexplainable feeling that I have for Eldest is also the feeling I have when I read Eragon (Book 1) and that is the reason why I bought Eldest (I actually have to choose between Eldest and a Murakami book and I chose Eldest... so sad... really...).

Since I've started this Eragon thing, so I might as well finish the whole cycle and that includes four books. Three are published and I have a copy of books 1 and 2. I'm actually waiting for the paperback edition of Brisingr since hardbound books are too expensive.

Can't wait to read the third installment!

Ohh.. I can't believe I just said that....
