Well...when you open your mind a little and consider for the first time someone reading a Dragonlance story, it doesn't seem quite as cliche'd no?
I think our reading experiences will significantly colour how we come to view and value them. Attempting to objectify this view and impose it on others is futile when everyone will be coming from a different set of reading experiences.
Admittedly for me now there is a certain amount of regression that is required to read and enjoy Dragonlance without being critical, but having said that I'll never impose my values of what I'm reading on to others, because for someone somewhere, the stories have that initial magic that our first fantasy tale has.

Just a couple of thoughts.
I stopped after Summer Flame - but have been tempted back to the world several times by friends who tell me some of the later writings on Raistlin may capture my interest. (being my sentimental favourite character)
We'll see. Maybe one carefree summer day down the track!
