I'm a big fan of the fiction of R.A. Salvatore, but especially his Forgotten Realms stories focusing on the life of Dark Elf Drizzt Do'Urden. I've read all but the last book (still awaiting release later in the year) and thoroughly enjoyed every one. Of all the 'official' D&D settings the Forgotten Realms has to be my favorite.
Some time ago I trawled the Internet trying to find a Chronology for the Drizzit books. I never found a single definitive list that I was happy with but found several sites that had lists of varying completeness. The following Chronology is a mish-mash of the information I found on sites such as the FR Wikipedia page; the Amazon.com 'True Chronology'; the excellent FR Library; and the Wizards of the Coast Official FR Page, so I take no credit for compiling this. So here's my version of their lists, focusing on the Novels specifically about the famous Dark Elf renegade.
