    A shout out to Anne McCaffrey---I've read every novel on Pern, probably twice :) The Temeraire Series is awesome, and I hear that Peter Jackson has the movies rights to it, and is in the process of writing it now. Can you imagine what he'll do with that??? SO hope it goes through!

    Loved the Dragonlance novels, as well as Paolini's Eragon and Eldest.

    Anyone ever read Mercedes Lackey's Dragon Jousters? Or her works with Andre Norton, The Halfblood Chronicles? Also recommend the Dragon Quartet books by Marjorie Kellogg. Or any of the Dragon Star or Dragon Prince books by Melanie Rawn. Dragon's In the Stars or Dragon Rigger by Jeffrey Carver are very different dragon books---more science fiction, but mixed cleverly with fantasy---and very cool. The Dragonvarld Trilogy by Margaret Weis is great too.

    LOL... I read EVERY title about dragons I can get my hands on... and I read A LOT. I've loved them ever since before I can remember. I definitely believe dragons were real at one point... just too many cultures with stories about them, cultures that evolved almost completely separate from one another.

    Did anyone else see that Discovery special on Dragons, where they supposedly dug up the dragon carcass in Romania? That was sooooo cool!

    EDIT: Another series you HAVE to read if you like dragons: The Age of Fire series by E.E. Knight. Some of the best stuff on dragons... they're written from the veiwpoint of dragons, which is definitely nice :D

    Anybody read the Joanne Bertin books The Last Dragonlord or Dragon and the Pheonix? I haven't read them in years but I liked them when I did read them. Read most the ones you mentioned. Love dragons! I even started writing a dragon novel...that I never finished. :oops:
    oh well, maybe later. :)

    Yep, read those too. Anyone read Song in the Silence, The Lesser Kindred, and Redeeming the Lost by Elizabeth Kerner? Awesome series as well about a woman who finds her soulmate...but he happens to be a dragon.

    Sheree,

    I'll take four, and add them to our dragon collection. I have crystal, paintings, pictures, books, all of the Perns, and they'd join the family. :D And Gareth, my tattoo dragon.

    How cuuuuuuuuuuuuute! I'll take him NOW!

    Seriously.

    *sigh* We can dream, can't we?

    AND btw, for all you dragony readers out there, anyone read the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik? I'm a dragon fanatic too and it is one of the best dragon series I've ever read.

    Read the first introducing Temeraire, but haven't had the chance to read the 2nd or 3rd, yet. But they're definitely a fun perspective, that dragons are a normal part of our actual world. :)
