Ignore that suggestion, Eragon sucks.

the fionavar tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay. really great, i'm a big reader of fantasy books, i've read hundreds and hundreds of them, and the fionavar tapestry is by far the best.

and if you're looking for something lighter, try the midkemia story line books by raymond e. feist. start with magician: apprentice and go on from there.

if you want sci-fi fantasy, read enders game, then go in one of two directions, either read enders shadow, shadow of the giant, shadow of the hegemon, shadow puppets or read speaker for the dead, xenocide, children of the mind.

either way start with enders game, if you like politics and action more, go with enders shadow/giant/puppets/hegemon, if you like fantasy and character interaction, read speaker for the dead/xenocide/children of the mind

You've just gone and listed all the worst examples of fantasy literature, it's not my fault you've not read any good books in the genre.
