I mean outside of the Chronicles and other related stories from Dragonlance I don't much else, so what ones from Forgotten Realms would be good to start with?

The Avatar Trilogy and the Dark Elf Trilogy.

Don't start them. There are so many better books out there to read that FR books aren't worth it (IMO). Unless you are very interested in FRs for some reason or another, then I'd suggest the Avatar Trilogy.

And many, many more...

I picked up the Icewind Dale Trilogy.

Rotku, I read so much that it doesn't even matter anymore. FR's will just be some quick entertainment as most books are.

forgotten realms are a light read for me.hell, WoT is a light read anymore. i can read whole paragraphs like most people would a sentence, which helps

I started off with the Icewind Dale and Dark Elf Trilogies by R.A. Salvatore -- so did my brother incidentally. So that seems to me like a good place to start but if you'd rather read something a little darker than evil drow matrons, the Cleric Quintet is pretty scary. (The fifth book gave me nightmares but I was in 5th grade at the time) But that's just me

Yeah I polished off the Icewind Trilogy in a few days, and now I am almost done The Dark Elf Trilogy.

Are there any other Drizzt books. Or is it like Dragonlance with 6 good books and 53 crappy books.

I have found the Drizzt books to have, for the most part, roughly the same caliber of writing. Generally, Salvatore's writing is fairly consistent and while there may be considerable difference of opinion as to whether or not he is a good author I have found that most people who like one of his books tend to like the others as well.

The problem with the Dragonlance series was largely that a large number of very poor books were written by the no-name author of the week. this allowed them to churn out large numbers of books and I suspect keep the royalty percentages lower compared to what they would have had to pay Weis and Hickman or some other decent author.
