New Recommended Fantasy/Scifi Library & Store

By Mike Macauley March 30, 2009 Shur'tugal 50 Comments

What’s the best thing to do while we wait for Book 4, you ask? Submerge yourself in more awesome fantasy, of course! We’ve put a lot of hard work into compiling the ultimate library of fantasy and sci-fi books, movies and TV shows that fans of Inheritance can enjoy during the wait for Book 4. All of the nearly six hundred books, movies and TV shows in our library have been recommended either by our staff or by fellow Inheritance fans.

Our entire recommendations library includes: Inheritance Books, Inheritance Gear and Merchandise, Eragon Movie and Eragon Games, “Other Fantasy Books With Dragons”, Recommended Fantasy/Sci-fi Books, Recommended Fantasy/Sci-fi Movies, Recommended Fantasy/Sci-fi TV Shows, and Advice Books for Aspiring Writers. All purchases go directly through Amazon.com, the internet’s largest book store, saving you an average of 25% on all merchandise (helping to support Shur’tugal at the same time).

Our new library and store is everything you could want during the wait for Book 4. Miss an Inheritance product (including swords, various book editions, games, cards, shirts, and posters)? Need a new book to read? Now you have access to all that and more, all in one convenient location. Visit the library here!

Edit: Comments system functionality has been revamped. Loading speeds will be much faster and page will not have to reload each time (no more landing pages).

    The “written by…” line is covering the first line of the post. I think it is because the title of the post is two lines.

  • HarryQuacker

    The top of this story comes out messed up on the main page. The line between the title and the story (the comments link) seems to be behind it, I had to move my mouse around until it turned into a hand to find the comments link.

  • Glorfindel

    And the “Ads by Google” down at the bottom is still pink. I don’t know if that’s just how it is or what.

  • Glorfindel

    The problem is that when you hit “post”, it doesn’t post for a few minutes. I thought that my comment had just somehow got major backspaced by me on accident, so I posted it again. So when you post, it takes a while to show it up on the comments board.

  • feanarang

    Well done, Robert. Thanks for fixing it!

  • Murtagh69

    Just checking. They will be angry, but they will be relieved that you aren’t closing us down! We were … Never mind, I won’t say it. If you want to know you’ll have to find it…

  • Ally

    @Murtagh69

    LOL
    April Fool’s!

  • Murtagh69

    All right, I am a member of SF3, you know, the forums for the fanfiction? Well, they are saying you guys are closing us down… Is this true? I can not believe this… Just because apparently there is a picture of hello kitty! If they are closing us down… Well… We will all be angry on the SF3 end… I came here to check…

  • lorearia

    Thank you very much for the prank ideas. Daniel, your prank with the vinegar gave me the idea to make lemonade and I “forgot” to put in the sugar, thank you very much.

  • Evarinya

    xD
    NICE PINK!!!!!!
    LOL!
    I literally came on here and was like.. “WOAHH! The site is pink!!!” xD
    Nice april fools guys ;]

  • Luthien

    I love April Fools Day!

  • Ally

    @ Glorfindel

    Chris Paolini does not have a fan e-mail address at this time. You’ll have to use snail mail to contact him. Sorry!

    In case you missed it, the address is:

    Christopher Paolini
    c/o Michelle Frey
    Random House
    1745 Broadway, 9th Floor
    New York, NY 10019

  • Bob

    What exactly is the problem? Every test I’ve done (in each web browser) shows the system runs perfectly.

    EDIT: New system has been pulled for more testing.

    EDIT: IE Problems Fixed. Problem was IE not pulling new data in a timely fashion.

  • Glorfindel

    I think that I’ve discovered the tiniest bug in the comments system Robert…

  • Bob

    Alright, if you’re having problems, please e-mail me some information: what’s happening, browser name, operating system.

  • Glorfindel

    My comments aren’t getting posted.

  • Glorfindel

    Does he have a fan EMAIL address? And Iorearia, try putting a rubber band around the handle of the sprayer of your sink if you have one. Someone turns the handle, and get’s nailed by water. Just make sure that you’re dad isn’t the one who get’s hit. Mine did, and he asked me if I found the discomfort of others funny. How does one answer that honestly, without sounding disrespectful?

  • Glorfindel

    Does he have a fan email address? And you might try putting a small rubber band around the sprayer of your sink if you have one. Just try to make sure that you’re Dad isn’t the one who get’s nailed. Mine did, and he asked me if I found the discomfort of others funny. How do I answer that honestly without being REALLY disrespectful?

  • Bob

    I’m getting a headache already 😛

  • feanarang

    This had better be gone tomorrow. I feel less manly every time that “Hello Kitty” appears on my screen, lol.

  • Daniel

    You’re welcome, lorearia. 🙂 by turning the mattresse upside down i mean with the sheets on it too. 🙂

  • alucard

    Wow, nice job on the updated cmts! Much better!

  • alucard

    pink…everywhere!!! EEEEEEEP!

  • lorearia

    I would recommend the “dragons in our midst” series, they are christian fantasy books (don’t say i didn’t warn you).
    Thank you very much Daniel.

  • Bob

    I’m pretty sure I tested everything to do with the comments system. If something doesn’t work right, e-mail me at [email protected]

  • Daniel

    I feel silly now, but it wasn’t showing up for the longest time…

  • Daniel

    My last comment didn’t show up!

  • Daniel

    lorearia,
    Here are some harmless April Fool’s pranks
    Turn your house’s main water valve off, put turn their mattresses upside down, put vinegar in their drinks (clear apple cider vinegar works the best). I hope I helped! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • lorearia

    Very funny guys, I like it.
    (any ideas for a prank i could pull on my family without getting in trouble)

  • Bob

    Awesome. It is working. I hath finished recoding!

    Enjoy! Comments should be faster then ever and you won’t go from page to page in the comments, you’ll stay on this page no matter what you need to do (post comments, log in, register, etc.).

    Fun huh? I hope you guys like it.

  • Bob

    Just confirming that the new comments system is online and functional.

  • Ally

    You can contact Mr. Paolini via his fan mail address:

    Christopher Paolini
    c/o Michelle Frey
    Random House
    1745 Broadway, 9th Floor
    New York, NY 10019

  • Glorfindel

    Does anyone know how I can contact Paolini? I have a question for him. Does he have an email that I can contact?

  • feanarang

    That is actually pretty funny. For a moment, I though Shurty was taking their “branching out into different areas” FAR too seriously. Then I remembered what day it was. Thanks for the laugh, guys!

  • Ally

    Pink is awesome, fools.

  • Bob

    Thanks for all of your survey submissions!

    You guys chose, Hello, Kitty!

  • Daniel

    If it were my choice, I would have mirrored the site and done the Hello Kitty theme. 🙂

  • Chris

    I will be adding more books to the store soon…

    Also, you can buy a visa gift card or something similar and use it to purchase things online.

  • Glorfindel

    I am roaring with laughter as I type. Good one! When got onto the site I thought that something had gone way wrong. Nice one guys!!

  • Mike

    Judging by some that I’ve already seen, I’d say ours is rather amusing. It was important to come up with a prank that does not affect the functionality of the website and inspires a good giggle or two. I think we’ve accomplished that.

    If you really aren’t satisfied, you can always amuse yourself on shurtoogle.com – our 2007 April Fools prank.

  • HarryQuacker

    Hello Kitty? You guys could come up with a better April Fools joke than that!

  • Daniel

    If I had a credit card I would buy something right now. But alas, I do not. Mayhaps my parents will buy me something from here for my upcoming birthday. 🙂

  • Mike

    One major plus to using our new library and store is that all purchases through the store not only save you a ton of money (like I said in the post, an average or 25% or more per purchase plus free shipping on orders over $25), but it benefits Shur’tugal.

    Right now we are having a difficult time financing the website in regards to our future projects. These future projects will ensure updates on a daily level, many new features for Inheritance fans and fantasy fans alike, and more that we can’t yet announce. But to do this, we need help! So next time you are considering purchasing a book, try to do so through the Shur’tugal store. It saves you money and benefits us as well. 🙂

  • Evarinya

    Awesome!
    lol I do need some new books to read.. my book list keeps getting smaller and smaller..
    Lol keep up with the good work guys!

  • Faolins

    Cool 🙂

    Lovin’ the frequent updates! Keep them coming !

  • AshNight

    If we get to recommend books I highly recommend the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, for any older Inheritance fan. Also, all the Dragonlance and Forgotton Realms books. Thank you guys so much for all your work!
    Love and Light,
    Ash

  • Daniel

    So can we recommend books? If so, how about FangQuest? Its my book and will be coming out before June. The URL to my website is http//:www.fangquest.com. There will be a link to buy the book soon and it will be available through amazon.com.

  • Glorfindel

    I would like to recommend David Eddings. He wrote a bunch of fantasy that bears a lot of resemblance to LOTR. The first series I believe is called the Belgariad.

  • alucard

    This was quite unexpected! I’ll check it out when I come home from school.

    Second 2x in a row (sigh)

  • feanarang

    Cool! I’ll definitely be making use of that library!
