If you like Dragon Riders of Pern, you might like the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini, it contains 4 books, Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance. It is also a story about dragon riders.

Well aside from his affect on the genre, Tolkien's work is great! I first was read the hobbit by my dad at the age of five. When I was six he started on Lotr, but we wound up with the radio play instead, though i'd
