I agree T L, as far as forgotten realms vs Dragonlance, I'd say I would rather read about DragonLance and adventure in Forgotten Realms, the amount of material available for adventures in the realms is astounding, but the novels are poorly constructed most of the time, and while some of the stories are interesting they don't keep me hooked like Weis and Hickman in Chronicles/Legends or like Knaak in legend of Huma (I consider most of what I've read of Knaak's to be on par with salvatore, if only because i'm a huge minotaur fan, my first magic: the gathering deck was a red/blue minotaur deck, back in '96)
as for adventuring in DragonLance, if you've read the Chronicles then there isn't much point in playing the modules, as you know what's going to happen (most of the chronicles books were majorly affected by things that happened in gaming sessions), but there erally isn't a whole lot to do there unless you're playing earlier than the books, (I haven't checked out the 5th age material, just the old hardback book from the 1st-2nd ed switchover)
