And then I went to college and haven’t picked up a Pern book, or thought much about them, in over 25 years. I read Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon in short order, as well as The Harper Hall books ( Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, Dragon Drums), Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern, and Nerilka’s Story. Dragonsong was no where to be found, but there was a book called Dragonflight, so I bought it. Fortunately, my parents were always willing to buy me books. I was entranced and it was all I could do not to snatch it out of his hands. While on the bus going home one day, I saw one of my friends, who was in the regular English class, reading one of his assigned books. In Junior High, I was in the advanced classes and was expected to read a lot of books I don’t remember. Anne McCaffrey’s Pern series was one of the formative series of my life.
