Useless quote for 6 June:

"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."

~ Anne McCaffrey, 2004

Starting a reread of Anne Mccaffrey's Tower and Hive series, and thinking of rolling into the Pern Series after that.

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

Childhood landmarks.

1) and the Daleks (David Whitaker) - the differences to TV blew my mind

2) The Darwath Trilogy () - still a comfort author

3) (Tolkien)

4) A Fall of Moondust () - disaster movie

5) The Ship Who Sang () - loved all her SF

6) The Belgeriad - David & Leigh Eddings - mixed feelings in hindsight but I loved it

7) II-IV (Vonda N McIntyre) - a masterclass in enriching a novelisation.

@AmberJFrost I've read/reread the entire Pern series by Anne McCaffrey a few times. Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern was the first one I read and still my favorite of the series.

It was really hard to settle on just 5-7 favorite authors for the lists being shared! Like picking between favorite children...







(I had to throw Weekes, Zahn, Eddings, Cherryh, Weber, Wexler, Jordan, Gaiman, Aaronovitch, Hobb, McKinley, Rothfuss, McKillip, Lackey, LeGuin, Zelazny, Hambly, Feist, Drake, Campbell, Butcher and so many more great authors under the bus)

I actually can't recall whether I did these before or after reading the Crystal Singer trilogy, but 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.

My county system has 71 books. None of them is a physical copy of . 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.
