    Me! Me! I do! I have wanted myself a dragon since first reading them years and years ago. Wanted a dragon - or we'd joke that Ma thought her car was a dragon - because that way she might get somewhere on time!

    I've enjoyed some of her Pern books and a few of the co-authors. Generally I prefer the hard science fiction, but McCaffrey is an excellent writer and her books are always enjoyable.

    I love the Pern series and in particular one of the tricks the dragons can do (don't want to spoil!)

    If you go in the order by when they first landed then you will want to read DragonsDawn. If you want to read it from the first book she wrote in the Series you will want to read DragonFlight.

    Here is a page that lists each book in the Pern Series(the others can be checked out as well from the side menu) in order of when they were writen. They give an exerpt of what the book is about also:

    Hope this helps.
