Dragonlance discussion

What was your first DL book and when?

Mine was Dragons of Autumn Twilight in the late eighties and I've read all the Weiss/Hickman DL since, plus some.

Ditto.
The official starting book for the world and I was hooked. Read it some ten years ago and have read all the other Weiss-Hickman novels and many of the other novels.

I was given the Chronicles set for Christmas when I was in second grade. (Early 80's.) Loved 'em...

I started in the 80's as well, with Chronicles, Legends, Tales, Heroes, and Preludes. I stopped there - what really made the first 6 books was the team of Weis and Hickman. I didn't really like the other authors. I re-read the first 6 books many times since then. Just this year I picked up Raistlin's Chronicles and I like it so far!

OH you know what I just remembered - my very first Dragonlance book was the atlas by Karyn Wynn Fonstadt! I remember looking at it and thinking wow - this person has quite an imagination! And I just love maps (I think I'm a kender at heart.) So I bought it, and as I was reading it I realized that it was referreing to the Dragonlance series. That is how I got into it.

My First was also Autumn, But i wasn't hooked until I read Brothers in Arms and Soulfourge. ever since read, at least Soulfourge, i have been on a crusade to find any author that gives such 'life' to magic. after this book Raistlin is and will always be my favorite char.

Dragons of Autumn Twilight...probably in 7th or 8th grade (mid-1990's). Moved on to the rest of the Chronicles and any other DL books that my library had.

Dragons of Autumn Twilight just about a year ago in the summer before my freshman year.

Awesome, James! What book are you on now?
Hope you have made it through Chronicles and Legends!

Before the Mask. It was a very random purchase

Dragons of Autumn Twilight - I believe...

I started with the first book of the Twins trilogy, got really confused and then realised I should go and read Autumn, Winter and Spring first...

My first was Autumn Twilight. To this day it remains as one of my favorite books of all time and it helped launch my love of all things fantasy 🙂

Mine was Dragons of Autumn Twilight. A friend recommended Dragonlance to me and insisted that Time of the Twins was the first book. So, finding that that wasn't exactly the case, I bought ToaT and DoAT and started my journey with DoAT. Almost immediately went into DoWN.

Yep, me too. I got hooked after borrowing a friends book.

I recently got the urge to go through Raislin's story from the beginning, Starting with Soulforge. 4 days & that was done with. Now on to The Companions: The Meetings Sextet.

I must say now re-reading The Companions I am quite annoued. On page 6 it says Raislin hasn't taken the test yet, but 15 pages later it says he has Hourglass eyes (which he gets from the test).
I never noticed this on 1st reading.
