There are just so many of them and I could never work out which order I was to start reading them in...! Having read them a couple of times, what do you suggest - order of publication or chronological order of the story?
Start with the first books:
- Dragonflight
- Dragonquest
- The white dragon
And now there are two paths, the first being the 'history part':
- Harper hall (Dragonsong, dragonsinger, dragondrums) [Some people think that this should be read before TWD, but that's just a matter of taste IMO]
- First fall, Dragonsdawn
- Moreta, Nerilka, Beyond dawn
The second path is the 'current path':
- The renegades of Pern
- All the weyrs of Pern
- The dolphins of Pern
- The skies of Pern
