...That doesn't sound like you think it's "worth reading..."

  Well, there's no disputing taste; someone else might like it. And Dragonlance was perfectly serviceable, given its origins.

    Dragonlance is a wonderful kids book. Unfortunately, re-reading as an adult was definitely not inspiring. I am looking forward to reading them to my daughter though, some time after she learns to understand words.

      I re-read the first two trilogies for the first time in a couple of decades or so, and started a few of the other books (couldn't finish any others). I think that Dragons of Autumn Twilight still holds up reasonably well as a Tolkienesque derivative. I somewhat enjoyed reading the other two in that set and don't regret having re-read them. I enjoyed a few scenes from the Twins books, but otherwise I should probably have left those to my fond memories instead. I still also have fond memories of a few other of the Dragonlance books, though now I hesitate to attempt them again.

        Yeah, I couldn't even get through Autumn Twilight, the lack of nuance and the straight up good vs evil schtick really annoyed me. I guess Steven Erikson has spoiled me ;)
