"Why dragons? To which I generally retort, Why not? They've had a bad press for years. And I was turning them on their tails and making them useful."

This week, a samurai sword fight broke out over a Monopoly game in Belgium, and the guys get to know the 1980s via Miami Vice!

Pern in particular should keep me out of trouble for a while, although the T&H series is no lightweight.

#7BooksToKnowMe Childhood landmarks.
1) #DoctorWho and the Daleks (David Whitaker) - the differences to TV blew my mind
2) The Darwath Trilogy (#BarbaraHambly) - still a comfort author
3) #LOTR (Tolkien)
4) A Fall of Moondust (#ArthurCClarke) - disaster movie
5) The Ship Who Sang (#AnneMcCaffrey) - loved all her SF
6) The Belgeriad - David & Leigh Eddings - mixed feelings in hindsight but I loved it
7) #StarTrek II-IV (Vonda N McIntyre) - a masterclass in enriching a novelisation.

73 followers · 653 posts · Server mastodon.socialI actually can't recall whether I did these before or after reading the Crystal Singer trilogy, but #AnneMcCaffrey and her weird, at times almost new agey approach to humans evolving into a spacefaring society have been a strong aesthetic influence for me ever since I got my hands on the first two Talent/Pegasus books as a teen.

One of them is the rights to a digital copy. Those bits are "checked out" and "on hold" after that and might maybe be available in over a month assuming nobody "renews" them.
Fuck US intellectual property law tbqf.
