Have you read Leven Thumps, The lost years of Merlin, or The Unicorn Chronicals? I'm looking for a good book that is just as good as those books mentioned. What would you suggest?

I've read Eragon and Eldest and the Harry potter series. What else?

Anne McCaffrey and The Dragonriders of Pern. These were written long before Eragon. It details the lives of humans that crashed on Pern where they "impress" dragons and fight Thread. Later books include fire lizards and dolphins. Really enjoyed these, as well as her Crystal Singer stories.
Katherine Kurtz wrote a series about The Deryni, a magical race that has been banished/destroyed. They must, however, come back to beat back the evil that pervades the land.
Piers Anthony wrote Xanth books - a series in a magical land that looks like Florida. Stories are full of puns. There's also the Incarnations of Immortality (About Death, Mother Earth, Mars, etc as people.) Another favorite for me was the Adept series.
Enjoy!

First of all, let me just say, Eragon is wayyy overrated. Harry potter a bit, but not as much.
If you're looking for fantasy, read the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Also
try the authors H.G. Wells and Jules Verne.

I haven't read any those of BUT, the Inheritance series (Eragon and Eldest) and Harry Potter are the BEST books ever! And I think the books you mentioned sound interesting. I might just read them!

nalwart is GOOD! Le Guin was terrific, also read Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles, the Narnia books (all of them),
Eddings books "The Belgariad", E. R. Burroughs Mars and Venus series are timeless in romance and adventure...and if that doesn't make you just surrender to older books that aren't movies... I resign.
My own library started with these.

The Gormenghast trilogy by Mervyn Peake. Except that I advise passing on the third book, "Titus Alone." The first two are "Titus Groan" and "Gormenghast."

From the books you've listed, I'd say you should give King Fortis the Brave a try. It fits in perfectly with those other titles.
