if you are interested in the drow elf society and/or Drizzt's history - it's the books for you. Great description of the society, fighting style, and development. Action, Adventure, Betrayal, Terror! S&M!(eerrr... *ahem*)
if you finish 'Homeland,' I would go with the following: 'Exile' and 'Sorjourn'(sp?).
THEN get started with R.A. Salvatore's 'Icewind Dale' trilogy...
