They're a hell of a lot cheaper in book form than audio form.
Again, I reccomend Dragonlance over FR.
I'd say read
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
in that order. Once you read the first couple, if you enjoy reading in general, you'll definately want to read more of them.
Anyhow, they're only like $6-7 paperback in store, and you can get em for like a buck each if you look online. For example, there are 5 listings for a cent and 9 more under a buck at Amazon for The Second Generation.
I stopped reading Dragonlance after I read all the books with the original crew and the spinoffs written by Weis and Hickman, but that's like... 20 or so books I think. It's a damn fine series. Be careful though. You'll catch yourself reading during class. I missed almost the whole semester of Cal 2 because I was always reading during lecture.

Sound like fun...another series to go on my list...another couple of months of reading...
Anyone read Robin Hobb's ones about Fitz out of interest?? There's...9 I think in three trilogies. First lot something to do with Assassins in title, second to do with fools and third to do with ships??
There was a trilogy I read in 8th grade that I really, really loved, but I can't remember the name, the author, or the names of any of the characters.
The books were centered around a couple small groups of people that fought in and led a war. They were fantasy books, and the setting was pre-modern, but it wasn't Earth. The organizations in the books had an Italian mob sort of feel.
The only complete memory I have from the books is that one of the characters gets knocked out and wakes up in a sewer in a city.
Anybody have any idea what these books might have been?

Maybe it was the trilogy by George R. R. Martin? A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, and A Storm of Swords.
I just bought A Clash of Kings earlier today because this friggin' author rocks. I used to read a lot of fantasy books when I was younger and I just recently picked up this series. I reccommend it to everyone who likes fantasy at all. 10/10.
:-\ I read the reviews of those books. The setting is definately similar, but they're not the same books. Anybody else? I know it's a reach, but I'd really like to be able to find these books again.
---------------
I just emailed my Jr. High. I asked if I could come and look through the library in hopes of finding the books. *crosses fingers*
They probably won't get back to me until fking fall, but I guess we'll find out.

What is it they say about silence being golden?

Yeah, the White Mountain series was pretty good; just don't make the mistake of picking up the prequel (When the Tripods Came or somesuch), because it's a snore fest.
