I did consider having a look at 'Beyond Between' but, as I haven't got to reading any of our Pern books yet, I thought I'd best wait a while. Is that what I should do, or could I start with a look at 'Beyond Between'?It's a story you can enjoy without having read the Pern books, but it is better if you first read Moreta and First fall, because then you'll be familiar with some of the things referenced.
From the other stories I'd definitely suggest reading the sworn sword (and if you have Legends I, its predecessor The hedge knight, since TSS is a continuation of THK). It's set about 80 or 90 years before the events in SOIAF. Maester Aemon (the old man at the Wall) is the brother of Egg (Aegon), one of the main characters in these two books.
Which reminds me that I really should get Warriors, since it has, besides 'The triumph', part three of the Dunk & Egg saga.
