I pronounce it "Burrzinger" because I think it's funnier that way. The only trouble is that it is hard to take seriously when you are reading the book.
Speaking of pronunciation, I read a Maeve Binchy book ("Light A Penny Candle" - an earlier work of hers, not as good as later stuff) and couldn't pronounce the main character's name! "Aisling" was the name and it's pronounced like "Eileen". Who knew that?

Hey there! MY job is also listed. Woo-hoo!
Oh, yeah! That's us Sheree! Always in the right place at the right time. . . .
About time that Paolini released that last book... But what will I do without a Rowing and Paolini series to read?
Now I'm going to be saying, "brsinger" for the rest of the day.
CNB - how are you thinking "brisingr" is meant to be pronounced?! Eeek, is it a word I would know if I had done the reading??
