And if you're really bored, you could pick up the Dragonlance series they started, which should have ended about 40 books ago!!!

There was another book that SciFi just did a movie of the first book a few weeks back. Riverworld I think it was. What if all the people from history met in the afterlife. That one is weird but a good read

Dragonriders isn't strictly fantasy. The premise (from Dragon's Dawn) is that the dragons are genetically altered creatures with natural, not supernatural, abilities. They were altered by the colonists' resident geneticist genius (Kitty Ping, if I remember right) when they discovered the idyllic planet they landed on was periodically decimated by a natural interplanetary menace that fell from the sky.

My favorite Dragonrider book is White Dragon, though I love the Harper Hall trilogy as well.

I Love Anne McCafreey's books, her pisonic stuff is just as great as her Dragon Riders of Pern.

Marion Zimmer Bradley DARKOVER series is Great SI/FI too. MM Auel...Clan of the Cave Bears series is fantastically realistic.
