Wow, that took me back to 9th Grade, when the books were first coming out.

And now, I too must read the books again.

I finished the first trilogy, but I never finished the Test of the Twins.

Maybe if i do the reading back to back, i will finish the Twins novels, too.

I'll have to watch it and see just how much they really follow the book. The 3 book series was one of my favorites as is the Twins gooks later. It's only a matter of time before some other classic like The Chronicals of Thomas Covenant will actually be a kick *** movie?

Dragon Lance, book is same name as the movie. Dragons of Autum Twilight. Then there is Winter. And Spring to finish the 3 book series.

I dont' think I can ever go back and try to get into the Thomas Covenant series. I read the first book when I was nine, and pretty much the first thing that Thomas does when he gets into an alternate world is rape Lena. Being that age, I found the scene powerfully shocking and distressing. I dropped the book, and started shaking all over. There's not much point reading the first book again from an adult perspective now, to replace that experience of it. I can live without it.

Read some Dragonlance as an extremely young teenager, but I found it extraordinarily cliched. I'm not wanting to diss anyone who got heaps of enjoyment out of it, because sometimes a rip-roaring adventure is just what the doctor ordered.

Yes, there's some incredibly great children's and young adult fiction out there. The only difference I find between those and adult books (apart from the length) is that they leave out sex scenes. You don't always have to have sex to make a thoroughly enjoyable book.

Also love all of Pratchett's and some of Gaiman's stuff. ever read Good Omens, which is by both of them together? It's one of the minority of author collaborations that not only doesn't suck, but is totally great in so many different ways.

I enjoyed their (the authors') Deathgate Cycle much more than Dragonlance. Reading Dragonlance seemed like reading someone's D&D adventure, and it got boring.

Well, you were. Still, the trilogy was heads above any of the Forgotten Realms offerings.

I thought the Death Gate Cycle was touch-and-go from book to book. I liked the Rose of the Prophet trilogy and seem to remember enjoying the Deathsword trilogy although I don't remember it well.
