This mornings NYT had an article that is very timely for the video game discussion: "Using Video Games as Bait to Hook Readers". The first example in the article is of PJ Haarsma, whose game design is based on the fictional world of his novel, allowing readers to play in it and giving incentives for players to advance by answering questions with information from the novel.

We stopped by the bookstore Saturday so J-Man could pick up the latest Paolini book, Brisingr, the third in the Inheritance Cycle.   He stayed off the computer last night to take it into his room and read – which he did – for hours.  Finally, he popped out into the kitchen, where Em and I were hanging

So… the third and final book to the Inheritance Trilogy is finally out… Whew, I had a busy week and wasn’t able to update the blog as soon as I got hold of the Brisingr e-book. Anyway, I apologize for the unforeseen delay, but do understand that we at Intexblogger are also trying to stay under the radar and avoid all clamors from publishers about our “unauthorized sharing habits”.

Brisingr, the third book in the best-selling trilogy by Christopher Paolini, is on track to be the fastest selling book of the year with 45,000 copies sold on its’ first day. Of course, that doesn’t even compare to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which sold 2.6 million copies on its first day! Anybody got their hands on Brisingr yet?

Brisingr, the third book in the bestselling Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini sold 550,000 copies in its first day of release. It was the highest opening ever for a Random House children's book, but far below the 8.3 million copies in the United States alone for the launch of "Harry Potter

Bookstores across the country are gearing up for the midnight release of Brisingr, the third installment of Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle. I read Eragon and Eldest in a single weekend last year, and enjoyed both of them.
