Dealing with Dragons by Patricia Wrede
(she has three more in the series: Searching for Dragons, Calling on Dragons, and Talking to Dragons... I really enjoyed them all)

Songs of Earth & Power, by Greg Bear. Unusual fantasy that's also a good story & very well written.
My favorite book, I guess it's considered fantasy, is Hunters of the Dark Sea by Mel Odom. It's got everything you'd want. Great adventure. You'll prolly have to get it off of Amazon, but it's well worth it mate.
I loved those books when I read them in middle school, though I haven't read them since then. They were very well done in how they portrayed many typical fanatsy aspects in a humorous way, while at the same time not taking it too far.abzdragon said:
The Circle of Magic quartet by Tamora Pierce. Also The Circle Opens quartet (same author.) The second quartet is like a sequel group to the first ones. Each book is about 200-300 pages.
The Fionavar Tapestry trilogy is in the same vein as Eragon in that its heavily inspired by other fantasy works but has some interesting twists. The first book is called the Summer Tree, by Guy Gavriel Kay.
From the classics shelf:
Chronicals of Narnia, C.S. Lewis
Arabian Nights (public domain)
Alice in Wonderland, C.S. Lewis
The Time Machine, H.G. Wells
The first two of the classic are series of short stories so can be taken in smaller bites.

George R.R. Martin's
A Song of Ice and Fire Series (currently three books, but soon to be another):
A Game of Thrones
A Clash of Kings
A Storm of Swords
Martin is my favorite fantasy author by far, no one being able to compare in my opinion, but if you're into Eragon this might be a little much for you. The story is intricate, not for those who aren't in for a long story.

Christopher Paolini's Eragon and Eldest. They are in my top 10. I recommend them. Wont be disapointed. Nice Twists and action. Ages 12-20. Although you could read it if your older. You mightn't like a few things. EG. NO S3X!!!
I was going to suggest wheel of time...Sephiroth beat me to it I guess. But he's right, you can' go wrong!! Sweet sweet books...George R.R Martin too, but someone already mentioned that as well...
You might like the Belgariad series by David Eddings. Just type in Belgariad in Amazon.com to get the names of the books.
Anyway, they are exciting adventure stories; the main character is Garion, the boy. I like the magic and the different characters and races. David Eddings develops characters well and the plot is fairly fast-paced, if I recall correctly. I read them a few years ago.
So I'd recommend the Belgariad series - David Eddings.

I liked Ce'nedra! She was cute. Neh, but I know what you mean, that they became repetitive. It's like the author has a formula for each book, and they don't vary much in the plot structure. I still like them, though.
Hey, you know what my FAVORITE fantasy book is? You have to read
Transformation
by Carol Berg.
I love this book. The characters are very well-defined, and the plot is interesting. The author is very talented with words; she writes beautifully. The whole story is just unusual and different. I would recommend this one.

The Redemption of Althalus - David and Leigh Eddings.
Gah, no. Avoid like plague! If "your" older, you won't like them. They're for little kids, ages, I don't know, 5 - 8.
Eddings is fun the first time you read him, then it gets rather repetitive.
I second Martin. Try Robin Hobb, too, she writes great fantasy.
