Book 1 audiobook is 24h in length! It’s going to take a while. And I currently have 15h per month listening time without having to pay extra.
Still, it’s a journey!

And that's the shortest book in the series!

I’m going to slightly disagree here and suggest reading The White Dragon before DragonDrums. The two novels overlap each other in some of the timeline, but I believe The White Dragon begins earlier than DragonDrums, and (admittedly it’s been awhile since I’ve read Pern) I think you would be a bit confused about Jaxom’s and Piemur’s friendship if you read DragonDrums first.
But, because of the overlap, they’re fairly interchangeable in order.

Sorry, but I must agree to disagree, here. Because the bulk of The White Dragon story takes place after the events of Dragondrums (even though its beginning chapter is before the Dragondrums events), I maintain that Dragondrums should be read first.
