Adding to the chorus: I read a lot of Dragonlance as a nerdling before developing the ability to evaluate quality. I think I stopped in the mid-90s? The last I read was Second Generation and Dragons of Summer Flame, after which I didn't particularly care to continue. I have fonder memories of some of the side books and short stories than the main storyline these days. Weasel's Luck/Galen Beknighted in particular. Some of the Tales and Preludes series, plus a whole freaking lot of the short stories in the anthologies, were obviously written as generic fantasy and clumsily shoehorned into the Dragonlance setting, which did them a disservice. Example that I can't remember the book it was in was Raistlin and Caramon in the city with the cat god dude. The first Dragonlance I ever read - really the first D&D fiction - was the anthology Dragons of Krynn. Toshimo: You should take an intermission every once in a while to do some of those short stories rather than power through them all at once when you get to the books they're in. Maybe it'll help keep you from burning out going from one epic trilogy to another.
