I just finished The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov. It was an interesting read, but sometimes felt more like a lot of historical short stories that were connected to each other.
Now I am reading Murtagh, the fifth book in the Eragon series by Christopher Paolini.
I was just thinking about that series. I read the first three I think when it first came out. I saw someone talk about how they reread it and decided it wasn't as good at they thought it was when they first read it. But I've always thought I might still give it another go, mostly for nostalgias sake. Is this your first read through. Is it a concluded series?
I read the first four books of the series three years ago for the first time (I have not reread them since). I enjoyed it very much to learn about the world through Eragons and the other characters travels and eyes. Knowing beforehand what happens would take away some magic. But there is a lot happening in the story, so you might enjoy them nevertheless before you read on. The main story ends in the fourth book Inheritance.
