[QUOTE="ShadowDenizen, post: 2309683, member: 16485"] Not to go all "Off-Topic" here, but the Dragonlance books (Well, the Chronicles and Legends, anyway!!) have appeal far beyond the D+D audience: I personally know of quite a few people (ALL of them "Non-Gamers", many of them female) who read and enjoyed these books. While it was Weis and Hickmans' debut together, and the prose isn't quite as good (realtively speaking) as some of their later stuff, there's still alot to recommend these books, even to Non-Gamers. Interesting characters (many of my Non-gamer friends know who Raistlin and Tasslehoff are), a love-triangle and an interesting thematic statement that "Good Redeems it's own, while Evil inevitably turns upon itself." While I do agree that they don't have the status of the "Narnia" books, or the "Tolkien" books, and probably never will, but don't discount the Chornicles and Legends having some staying power. They've been around for about 20 years, and are STILL being reprinted for new audiences. Meanwhile, wandering back to the topic... Gotta say that my favorite characters are Hodor and Danys, though I think I most identify with either Jon or Tyrion. :) [/QUOTE]
