Recommend me some good novels about dragons?

I love dragons, but I'm sad to say that I've read only a few books about them. I'd prefer something where the dragons are the good guys (or there are good and evil dragons), but really, I'm good with anything that has a dragon as a main character.

I've read Eragon and Eldest (though I was not a fan of Eldest), Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke (which I loved), and some of DragonSpell by Donita K Paul (didn't read far enough to know if I like it or not), and dragon movies I've seen and loved include How to Train Your Dragon (which is my favourite movie ever, and I'm totally going to read the books, even though they're for kids), Dragonheart (awesome movie), and Spirited Away (if that counts, lol). I'm going to buy the Dragonology book at some point (not a novel, I know).

I'm almost twenty, but I've no issue with reading young adult books. Also feel free to suggest manga/graphic novels or movies.

Thank you. :3

    Oooh, you should read the Enchanted Forest Chronicles series by Patricia C Wrede. The first book is called Dealing With Dragons. Love that series.

    The Darklord of Derkholm(by Diana Wynne Jones) isn't strictly about dragons, but it does *involve* dragons, and it's an awesome book.

    Here There Be Dragons is an anthology of short stories about dragons. I think it was edited by Jane Yolen, who also has a series about dragons, though I have not read it (the series), so I can't vouch for if it's good or not...

    Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern series

    For movies theres:

    Dragonslayer

    Reign of Fire

    The Lair of the White Worm

    Flight of Dragons

    Dragonworld

    They range from "good" to "good- but quite cheesy/campy" to "just kindda bad, but still fun to laugh at"
