Lessa

[ithildin]

When I posted my list a few days ago of fictional women that rock, Lessa of Pern was top of the list. I was pleasantly surprised to find so many fellow Lessa lovers on my f'list! All this talk about Pern makes me want to read the books again. Back when I was a teenager/twenties, I read them so often I wore out two sets of paperbacks.

Randomly related:

* The first SF book I ever read back when I was 14 was 'Restoree' by Anne McCaffrey, the second was "Two To Conquer" by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

* Other than Pern, her Crystal singer books are favourites of mine.

* I still have a major crush on Robinton and I sobbed when he died.

* Hoping that one of these days that one of the proposed movies or series will actually happen. Seems every time it gets close to reality, the project falls through.

* And last, but not least, who would you cast in a Pern movie?

I considered mentioning him in my previous post but ... as much as I adore his Snape and respect him as an actor, I can't really see him as Robinton. In every role I've seen him in, there is a ... distance that is contrary to character of the Masterharper. He doesn't really seem to share of his inner self.

I was trying to think of actors with great speaking voices. I've only seen him in a few things, so can't comment on his style.
