I loved Menolly, Lessa and Moreta - girls with pluck. :) Haven't read any of them past Dragondrums, really - I gather they're much more sci fi now than fantasy?

I used to be a fan of the series. Somebody put one of the books in the children's section of my local library one time [I ASSUME by mistake], and I discovered it there.

I read a couple other books, but after getting a taste of what the series in general was going to be--rampant sex and general nastiness of most characters in the series--I gave up.

Still, I really liked some of that woman's ideas, like telepathic dragons, fire lizards, thread. And they're what gave me the idea to start writing my own. I haven't quite gotten to it yet, but if I do, Pern will have been my inspiration.

Yeah, I think the rampant sex was one of the reasons why I liked Pern as a kid.. :$ No wonder why there was such a focus on the golden dragons' riders... IIRC, all the rest were male. x_x "Rose surrounded by thorns" or what? I also thought the rules for who could ride what colour dragon were dumb. XD

Todd McCaffreys new books aren't so bad and neither is the Harper Hall Trilogy.

Go Pern!

I've heard that they're better, but it was from someone who thought the originals were fine anyways. So I didn't completely trust that their definition of "better" coincides with mine. Who knows what they could have meant. :P

Rampant sex?!?!?!?!

So does that mean you're going to read them now? ;)

It kind of irked me that the books became less fantastical as I went on in the series.

Maybe, but that kinda makes it seem hard to read, or maybe it'll be hard for me to focus on school work now XD
