@orbitdragon Dragonriders of Pern! (there's a few great reading orders with different experiences, I personally enjoyed reading them in release order)
@drawingdog i read dragonsong a while back and liked it! are there more arcs that are focused on the weyrs? i know the ending implied she was going to live in one so i should probably keep reading her arc!
@orbitdragon I don't remember it in enough detail to answer that, sorry! I just remember the series with a great deal of fondness

@orbitdragon if you want a long term investment I strongly recommend Robin Hobb's various series. They're set in the same world, and the inclusion of dragons is a bit of a slow burn world building and narrative event which emphasises how special dragons are in the setting

The Farseer Trilogy is technically the start, but the second trilogy Liveship Traders is more dragon-focused and doesn't overlap with the Farseer books so you can read it first

@orbitdragon the Lady Trent Memoirs starting with A Natural History of Dragons, by Marie Brennan.

@orbitdragon

Movies/TV:
The How to Train Your Dragon animated trilogy, inspired by Cressida Cowell's book series.

The Flight of Dragons, classic animated movie melding elements of Gordon R. Dickson's The Dragon and the George and Peter Dickinson's speculative essay The Flight of Dragons.

Dragonheart, groundbreaking CGI with Sean Connery as Draco.

Dragonslayer, classic fantasy movie.

The Dragon Prince, animated Netflix series with solid storytelling and great imagination.

The Legend of Vox Machina, adult-geared D&D series (based on Critical Role) with truly badass dragons.

Books:
Memoirs of Lady Trent series, Marie Brennan. A lady scientist in a Victorianesque world travels and studies many unique dragon species.

Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, Bruce Coville. CH/MG standalone about a boy artist who finds a dragon's egg in a traveling magic shop.

Dragons in the Stars/Dragon Rigger, Jeffrey A. Carver. Dragons in space, lucid dreaming as interstellar travel.

For starters...

@orbitdragon To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose is some top tier dragon content.
@orbitdragon Temeraire series is pretty good
@orbitdragon Wings of Fire
Age of Fire
DragonHeart 1 to 5 (I love Siveth from fifth)

@orbitdragon
The 'Memoirs of Lady Trent' series is a nice series. Its a the story of a lady scholar in a pseudo regency era parallel universe, where dragons exist as part of the animal kingdom. And the Lady Trent is a dragon scholar.

Another is the really nice old school series 'Dragon Knight' involving a 70s couple getting ISOT into a medical universe where dragons and magic are real. And the guy somehow can turn into a dragon if he wants to, and use magic.

@orbitdragon
And finally there is the 'Temeraire' series, which is pretty much the Napoleonic Wars with dragons and dragon riders.
