I read these in middle school after finding them in the library. One of my earliest, erotic experiences was finding the chapter heading in Winter Night where the elf, whose name I've forgotten is bathing with her nipple showing.
Gilthanas*
The elf was a dragon (White Dragon iirc) named Silvara. Tanis was a moronic motherfricker but still managed to bag Laurana after getting that prostitute -FRICKING prostitute - Kitiara out of his system. >that nude silhouette of Silvara bathing in the 90s paperback edition
uoooohhhhhhh went my 15yo self
Some books were at least entertaining when the series expanded, but the earlier works by Weiss and Hickman are unreadable. I recently tried to reread it, but was unbearable, nostalgia glasses are real. It's ok clean fantasy for kids, though.
In 9th grade (94) a kid tried to bond with me over Dragonlance, he saw me reading and thought he found a kindred spirit (loner who read). He talked to me in great length about Dragonlance and I humored him and then asked me what I was reading. Next time I saw him he proudly showed me that he had gotten a copy of it, he never talked to me after that. I was reading GR. I never read Dragonlance. A week or so later I met my oldest friend, he saw me reading GR and started talking to me because he had just finished V, so when I finished GR a few days later we swapped and he read GR and I read V. That summer we read Ulysses and Finnegans Wake aloud to each other along with the girl who would become my first serious girlfriend. Good times.
Why not? It is not like I claimed to have understood it. I was essentially an edgy 14 year old and GR is perfect for edgy 14 year olds, reads like an edgy adventure novel. By 9th grade I had read a good chunk of what would become staples of the IQfy top 100.
what other books or comic books should I read if I want to experience picrelated aesthetic?
I'm interested too. >that picture
Did they have slaves or they used the women to gather the firewood and set the fire?
a properly written fantasy should give proper advice on slave & slavegirl management (not to be confused with servants and maidens...) like fairy tales did...
>be me many years ago >10 years old (I'm above 20 now, don't ban me ffs) >go to the library to borrow one of the books >can't find it >ask the librarian for help >20 something year old qt >she does a computer search >she sort of smiles mischievously and asks 'it's not a children's book ist it?'. >wtf.jpg >I look at the screen >there's some sort of gay lesbian porno novel with the same >she thought I was asking her for help on how to get some porn
Dragons of Autumn Twilight/Winter's Night/Spring Dawning is the title of a gay lesbian porno? wtf?
no way. Double no way the library had it on its shelves.
But cute fricking story.

but otherwise yeah you are shit outta luck
Rehashing threads is getting old. Get new material.

Tanis(?) was a lucky mother fricker.

It's a new low for IQfy. This shit is even worse than GRRM's gruel.
>gruel
The word you're looking for is "goyslop".
Ah the force change in languages.
How's pol these days ? Still fighting the ((them))?

The opposite is true. Chronicles and Legends are great, and so is the in-between trilogy. The series rapidly went downhill from Summer Flame onwards.
...but it's fun.
No, gruel is a far more IQfy word choice, /misc/cel.

cuck
I wasn't even alive yet. I read Deltora Quest in the 2000's.
frick yeah, I liked the anime too
I read Sword of Truth
never heard of it
my condolences
D&D is gay, not cute femboy gay, just outright gay, should be called gay and gay. Americans aren't white.
Lmao I was born in 1997 and I didn't learn to read until 2003 or so.
>didn't learn to read until age 6
Yeah, I think that was all of us, anon.
Except for that gifted kid who learned to read when he was only 5!
Weren't these based off of some chick's DnD campaign?

Ok but what did your story have to do with Dragonlance?
>t. plotfog
THE PLOT!!!! I NEED TO KNOW THE PLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>reading GR in grade 9
Frankly I don't believe you.

that is kind of gay, anon, in more ways than one. in fact in more ways than two.

The bible
