allright, anyone who reads the pern series, speak up, and tell us what you think of what book. Remember, try keep spoliers to a minimum, and have fun.

for me, I think that I have read everything in the pern series, though I am sure that I have missed one or two here and there

I have read:

Main Timeline
Dragonflight
Dragonquest
The White Dragon
All the Weyrs of Pern
The skies of pern

Harper Hall (Parallel to dragonflight, dragonquest, and the white dragon)
Dragonsong
Dragonsinger
Dragondrums

The Renegades of Pern (one book, parallel from the beginning of the present pass, to the beginning of All The Weyrs of Pern)

The Dolphins of Pern (parallel From the middle of All the Weyrs of pern, to somewhere in The Skies of Pern)

Prequels
Dragonsdawn (Arrival on pern)
Dragonseye (beginning of the second pass)
Moreta: Dragonlady of pern (dont remember how long after landing, but details Moreta's ride)
The MasterHarper of Pern (Details the life of Robinton from birth, to the point we are first introduced to him in Dragonflight)

I think that covers it, If I have forgotten any that I have read, I shall edit this post, and post another in this thread to inform people that I have edited.

Everyone else post what you have read, and discuss what your favourite is.

for me, I'd be hard pressed to choose a favourite, but I love the Harper Hall Trilogy, and the MasterHarper of Pern.
IMHO, the Harper Hall is the best crafthall there is smile.gif

I've also read all of the Pern books, and love them all to death! My favorites are probably Dragonsinger, Dragonsdawn, and The Masterharper of Pern, although it's very hard to decide on just a few!

I also like the ship who sang series, and the petaybee trilogy.

Robert

nay, and I need to


OOOOH, NEW BOOK, NEW BOOK!!!!

I wonder if it continues past the skies of pern

oh, I forgot to mention the chroncles of pern -- first fall

read that, and it clears up a lot of mysteries of why some holds are named what they are and other unresolved stuff from the main series, or dragonsdawn.

I have only read 5 or 6 of the books, but they are a series about the world Pern. The people of Pern live in holds, each under the protection of one of the Weyrs (there is a lot of vocab...I'm not sure if I've got it all straight). The Weyrs are where the dragons and their riders live. The dragon chooses the rider, and they are bonded: one usually doesn't survive without the other. Dragons and the dragonriders fight Thread, which falls from the sky and eats (?) anything alive. My favorite Pern books are the Harper Hall trilogy, Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums...I think they are aimed at a younger audience. I haven't read any books by Anne McCaffrey in a while though...thats the best summary I can give. Each mini-series within the universe is about something different.
