Hi all!!! I was brousing today in the local bookstore and thought I would conduct a little survey:
1. What is the best book novel you have ever read that significantly involved dragons,and/or 2. What is the best book written on the lore of dragons! - Other than Lord of the Rings (which ain't exactly bad), I don' ------------------ *** FUD ***

Hit return there by mistake before finishing. The last thing to add was that I really didn't know and was interested in some suggestions from you fine folks.

Thanks. Is the Harper Trilogy part of the Pern series or can it be read totally on its own?

I agree with Satts... The Pern series is fantastic. I believe the "Harper Hall of Pern" Trilogy (Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums), were the first three Anne McCaffrey wrote. The next Trilogy you should read would be the "Dragonriders of Pern" (Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon). There are many others that come after, or before in the time line, but once you read these six books you will have enough background to read any of the others!
Hope that helps!BLKCat Lover of Dragons ------------------ ...Events are cowards: they don't occur singly, but instead they run in packs and leap out at you all at once. (Excerpt from "Neverwhere", by Neil Gaiman) |

Oops Ruthafud, I got the sequence backwards...sorry!
 Anne McCaffrey actually wrote the Dragonriders of Pern Trilogy first, but if I were you, I would read the Harper Hall of Pern Trilogy first. Hope I haven't confused you too much!
