Recommended Books to Read?

Well, here's my incomplete book suggestion list:

Dragonlance
-------------------------
Dragons of Autumn Twilight
Dragons of Winter Night
Dragons of Spring Dawning
Soulforge
Brothers in Arms
Time of the Twins
War of the Twins
Test of the Twins
Dragons of Summer Flame
The Second Generation
Dragons of a Fallen Sun
Dragons of a Lost Star
Dragons of a Vanished Moon

I've got a couple handfulls more of good Dragonlance books to suggest, but these are the best ones (and mostly in series). If you finish all of these, I can reccomend some more good ones that sort of just jump around in the series or have new characters, but the general rule of thumb that I go by is that if it's not written or edited by Weis or Hickman, and it doesn't have any of the "original characters," (Raistlin, Caramon, Dalamar, Tasslehoff, Flint, Tannis, and Sturm (I don't care so much for Riverwind or Goldmoon) ) then I won't read it.

Douglas Adams

Mostly Harmless - Douglas Adams
(You can get all 5 in The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for $15.00)

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - Douglas Adams
Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul - Douglas Adams

Forgotten Realms
----------------------------------
Homeland - Salvatore
Exile - Salvatore
Soujorn - Salvatore
(The Dark Elf Trilogy)

The Crystal Shard - Salvatore
Streams of Silver - Salvatore
The Halfling's Gem - Salvatore
(The Icewind Dale Trilogy)



Also, I'd suggest the Lord of the Rings trilogy if you haven't read it, and The Hobbit (which I think is better than the trilogy).

Additionally, you might want to read Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. The book is infinitely better than the movie I think.



I contacted my Junior High librarian and asked if it would be possible for me to come in and leaf through the books to try and find that trilogy I was looking for. I'll post it up if I find it. It's a great read.
