 I first heard of the Dragonlance Universe when I was in me early 20s. I fell in love with the characters and books right away.  I have to say that Tasselhoff Burrfoot is my favorite character.  I remember laughing with his antics and crying with him as he sobbed over a friend's death. So after I finished the Chronicles, I dove right into The Legends.  Then I started reading The Tales.  For some reason, I didn't get far into the first book.  I think I had gotten bored since I was binge reading. I decided to get back into reading the series and and started reading from the beginning and am currently reading the second book of the Tales Trilogy.  I decided not to binge read this time.  Any time I finish a trilogy, I read something else in between. Now since I discovered the Dragonlance Universe, I discovered a lot more books have been written.  I think it's something like 150 to 200 books.  At the rate I read it will probably take me six y...
