The core of the Dragonlance works consists of the major works created by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. These are:

The Chronicles (Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night and Dragons of Spring Dawning,) which tell the story of the War of the Lance...

and Legends (Time of the Twins, War of the Twins, Test of the Twins,) which chronicle the lives of the the twins Raistlin and Caramon (and other Heroes of the Lance) after the War is over.

In my opinion, these are the best of the Dragonlance series. You should give Dragons of Summer Flame a read (this comes after the Chronicles and Legends in terms of Krynn time,) because it's really good as well, but nothing can truly compare with the original six. Weis and Hickman have written others for Dragonlance which are also good.

Then you should read the Meeting Sextet Series, which is comprised of one book for each of the major characters in Dragonlance, telling the stories of their adventures before the War of the Lance broke out.

To me, these are the major works of Dragonlance, and the only ones I ever read. Check 'em all out ASAP.
