more copies than most of the harry potter books. a reporter from whos news talked to this young author about his books and how he ended up being one of the best-selling authors of all time! reporter: what inspired you to write eragon?christopher pauline (cp): i love the sense of respect and wonder that you always get at the end of a great book or movie. eragon was an attempt to express that. when

of wonderauthors who write about things that other people dont. reporter: what was the hardest thing about writing eragon?cp: probably the editing because i wasnt used to it. it was a kind of shock

writing process? cp: write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most; otherwise youll never be able to survive a book-length project.reporter: anything else youd like to share with
