(first post, yey!)
The Temeraire series is brilliant! They are such fun to read, I would recommend them to everyone. I so can't wait for the movies. XD

That's some really good photo-maniping, kudos to whoever made it.

I am totally thrilled about the movies too, they just better not mess them up...I hear Peter Jackson may be directing them, which makes me giddy, he did a fantastic job with Lord of the Rings.

BTW, the next book comes out in July...can't wait!

I read those back in high school...I need to take a trip to the library to re-read them. Great series from what I can recall.

I`ll take one simply because I believe in Dragons. But then I am old enough to have actually SEEN them!!!!

[vander92857]

It's so cute!! Although I get the distinct feeling that it's a tad on the destructive side and may need some rather impressive enclosure when it gets older. Maybe it's a super dwarf? Also, God knows what you'll need to feed it and the sulfer smell will take some getting used to... but still!

Oh, come now..."What to FEED IT"??!! Why, miniature virgin madens, silly!!!!!

[pythontricker]

That would be so cool, but so hard to take care of, especially when it gets full grown and 100 ft long. Haha. But what would you feed it when it grows up? Elephants? Hippos?

Kinda puts me in mind of a fire-lizard! Lol, feed it thread!

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!



Also, does anyone else think that the best dragon movie ever was Dragonheart??? The effects are the best yet to date, and the movie's getting up there in age... but I still can't get enough of it. (BTW, the film in book is very good, as well, lol).


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

i would have to have one that my name means dragon in german

Woman, you're my new best friend.

I have also read all the pern books...anne mccaffery was my introduction to dragons in a sense, I must say a thank you to that long ago librarian who recommended I read them...also read Eragon (bleh to the movie, however) most of the Dragonlance books, the Dragon Jousters Series, and I'm reading the Dragon Quartet right now.

I TOTALLY saw that dragon special on Discovery and it ROCKED.

And as for Dragonheart...still in my top 5 favorite movies to this day. Did you cry? I totally did. And yes I have the book as well.

Looks like you have impeccable taste, so I think I'm off to Barnes and Noble to look for those Age of Fire books.

Have you read the Dragon Knight series by Gorden R. ****son?

[icygirl]

When I first saw that, the first thing I thought was, COOL!

The second thing I thought was bat wings, cigarette smoke, and maybe the edited head of an iguana. What do you all think this was p-shopped from? It's definitely a neat image.

You are all talking about that Eragon series, right? Can't say I've read it or seen the movie, but maybe I will have to now?
