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 twiceThe 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
