Lessa

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?

Recognized and loved all of the books you listed. I'm not sure what the first science fiction book I read was. I have the feeling though, that it may be one and the same as the first Anne McCaffrey book: Dolphins of Pern. A friend left it in the car one day and I picked it up out of curiosity.

It's been a while since I read the books though.

I'm wondering what the general opinion of the new Dragonrider books is and how they compare to the original ones.

Personally, I prefer them up to the Skies of Pern (in other words, not Todd McCaffrey's contributions to the series, although they are ok).

It's been so long, I didn't realize Todd was writing them now too!
