Pern? As in the old dragon riders series?

Hey slow down there! I only just started - I finished the Chronicles of Pern anthology and the novel, Dragonsdawn. Next one I need to get a hold of is Dragonsblood.

I really wouldn't read them in the in-universe chronological order. Publication order would make for a better understanding of the world, characters and culture.

You can do that in reverse order, see how things are and then how they got there. Anyway, if you don't care that there may be references in the later books that could act as spoilers to things published earlier, then by all means carry on.

Uh, because they have nothing to do with the Pern series.

That analogy flew completely over your head didn't it?

The Silmarillion was chronologically before The Hobbit an LOTR.

So you should have read it first.

ACK!

You haven't read any of them? I'd keep that to myself if I were you. Might get your nerd card revoked.

Watching the HBO series got me to finally start reading the Song of Ice and Fire series.

Just download "A Dance With Dragons" by George R.R. Martin this morning. Of course, getting back up to speed, reading the summaries of the rest of the series, has been paramount (can we get the next book released before 5 years from now?) The damn thing was $10 last night on the Kindle store, but now its $15. Its a bit too expensive IMO for something that is inferior, in almost every respect, to the actual book. Not to mention that the hardback version is only $19.

This is the reason why I am thinking of getting the hardback version.

I see it in the store for 20$. I would have gotten it definitely for 10$.
