Loved the mix of sci-fi and fantasy in this world.

Anne McCaffery is my fav author #1. All her books are keepers. I would own all of them, mostly in hardcover, but I donated them to the local library so that all could read her. Now I am slowly building up my collection again.

I read the dragonriders of Pern series back in the 1980s, met Anne McCaffrey at an awards ceremony for a contest that I won and she had judged. I found her to be a warm, sincere, and wonderful person.  Her son Todd is not co-writing the series.

I love Anne McCaffrey!  I read the Dragonriders of Pern series in the 1980s, met Anne after winning a writer's award which she judged, and found her to be a warm, sincere, and kind person.  She also loves Maine Coon cats.

This is a must read fantasy series, now co-written by her son Todd.

I have read the entire series.  And have been cheerfully re-reading the entire series, for the past 25 years.  And, God willing, I will continue to do so for the next 75!

 I have read the entire series.  And have been cheerfully re-reading the entire series, for the past 25 years.  And, God willing, I will continue to do so for the next 75!  

Ms. McCaffrey's verbal imagery has woven a rich tapestry in my mind.  Whenever I pick up one of her Pern books, I am instantly transported to another world: of struggles and delights, pastoral yet modernizing.  Wars and peace, love and hate, new discoveries and old comforts.  Part of me longs to visit a world like that, and I thank her for providing me the opportunity!

If it is 'wrong' to be 35 years old and delight in reading books about dragons, well: then I don't want to be right!  Her Pern series is like "comfort food" for my brain.   hide
