So, in this Dragonlance universe....is there something I should be reading prior to Time of the Twins to make some of this make more sense? Or is Time of the Twins a good place to start..?

You should read the AD&D handbook first.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The initial Dragons series. Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning, aka The Chronicles Series.  Definitely start there.  My personal favorites and readable early on are The Legend of Huma and Kaz the Minotaur.

So, will I be completely confused if I read these books first?

Not completely, but it'd be a heck of a lot better to start with the Dragons books.  They introduce the twins and the key players in their lives.  It'd vaguely be like just watching The Empire Strikes Back instead of Star Wars first.  You'll get the story, but you'll not know the backstory or understand the characters as well.

I remember reading the Chronicles books when I was in high school and it felt like reading a D&D session transcript. One could even pinpoint the moments they were rolling dice.

Personally, I'd advise that the only books she reads are those written by Weis, Hickman, Niles, Knaak and Williams (I really enjoyed the "Weasel" books.)

I had a few friends who read them around that time.  But even then, when I would eagerly read Harry Turtledove novels, I could still recognize D&D novels as dreck.

FYP.  K should read the first six books then stop and never pick up another Dragonlance book.
