I started with Taltos. A friend of mine had all the Dragaera books at the time and said I really had to read them. So when we were on a week long trip that involved a lot of time in a plane and on trains, she brought them with her. I proceeded to read all the Vlad books in chronilogical order (only up to Dragon was published at the time), then the Khaavren Romances, then BP. I later got To Reign in Hell, followed by "Sun, the Moon, and the Stars", then Cowboy Feng, then Gypsy. (And before either Cowboy feng or gypsy, Issola came out and I read it), then of course ending with PotD. I have Freedom and Necessity, but haven't read it yet. Now, the friend who lent me her Dragaera books has an interesting story of starting the series.. she wanted to borrow a book from a friend, but all the books on this friends' bookshelf had boring covers, so she picked up the one that happened to not have a cover. It was Taltos. And another friend of mine started just because she liked the cover art in Phoenix. Both of these people are now completely hooked on the series :) Jag
