Hi all,
I'm from the land downunder, yep Australia. I've been reading Dragonlance books for about 16 years now, amongst other fictional settings. Such as Dark Sun, Forgotten Realms and Shadowrun. Being a dragon I have never let a single one of these treasures (novels) out of my hoard.
I'm married and have a beutiful baby daughter. So when she grows up enough to understand speech, guess what bedtime stories she'll be getting. I cant think of anything else to say here except. I Can't Wait For The Movie.

Hey Draggo - another Aussie on the site is good to see!
Octavius - go the the 'books' section to read what others have recommended after you have finished DL - recently re-read the Chronicles as well, I do so about every six months or so...I love your ID it's wicked. Personally, I have been recommending the Ice and Fire series by George R R Martin as I just love them to death - but they are a little more graphic than DL so if you're under 16 it's something to take to the folks first. |

Thanks Carlin. I, too, re-read the Chronicles often. I have heard many people say that "The Song of Fire and Ice" books are great. I did pick up "A Game of Thrones" once, before I heard all the good things about it, but the lack of cover art turned me off. How insane is that? LOL I guess I went against the old adage. I did judge the book by it's cover. I'll give it a shot, though. How many books are in the series? I started the "Sword of Truth" series before I knew the extent of the series. I had read an older copy of "Wizard's First Rule", so it did not have the many books listed. After I saw that there were 7+ and each were HUGE, I lost the desire to read it. The first book was okay, but not enough to devote that much of my time to the entire series.

Ice and Fire has the following books in the series currently. It's a good read for adults btw.
Game of Thrones
Clash of Kings
Storm of Swords
Feast for Crows
Super highly recommended. And a word to the wise, do not read our topic in the books section, there are massive spoilers in there if you do decide to pick up the books.
Cheers.

I'm Tim. I'm in sales. From Texas but live in Florida 'til I can get back to the promised land. I've been a DL fan since '85. I boycotted for about 3 years when I finished DoSF and they came out with that stupid Saga thing (henceforth, refered to as "that stupid card game"). Not a total loss. I switched over to the Drizzt books. Then, someone gave me a copy of the first War of Souls and I've been back ever since. Currently I'm writing a couple of modules for the game. Maybe they'll buy it, maybe not.

Fellow Dragonlance readers:
My name is Keith and am going by the allias "Dragon Rider". I'm currently battling the frozen elements of Maine, near Augusta with my beautiful girlfriend Nikki who I call my "Forrest Lady". Though Dragonlance wasn't my first fantasy read it was probably within the first year or two starting with :Dragons of Autumn Twilight: and onward from there. Been reading random DL books since I was in probably 7th grade. (24 years old now) Dragonlance in my eyes is one of the most superior series of fantasy books on the market. I own somewhere around the number of 67 Dragonlance books in all. Yeah I bought some used, so what! Out of all those there may be 3-5 I have yet to read. I'm always on the look out for some of the older DL books like :Before the Mask:, :Emperor of Ansalon:, :Theros Ironfield:, and :Maquesta Kar-Thon:. Unlike most I enjoy all the "ages" of DL. Currently I'm reading :The Reign of Istar: and next I've got either :The Dragon Isles: or :The Measure and the Truth:. Glad to see other fans around. Might be nice to discuss and join in questions with yall. |
