I started to read her dragonrider / Pern chronicles, and I've now read the following books:
Dragonflight
Dragonquest
Dragonsong
Dragonsinger: Harper of Pern
The White Dragon
Dragondrums <-- im now reading this one
Man, they fucking rock!
Has anyone else read anything by her? Like the non-Pern books?
Everyone's entitled to my opinion, so fire away...
Oh, and where've I been? Well, that's a long story. I should be around more now.
Anyway, on with the book discussion!

e r m, so where have you been?
but seriously, I read a bunch of her stuff as a teenager, and generally enjoyed it. She writes well for the volume she puts out, and most books had a unique quality.
After a while though, I got dragoned out. There's only so much you can do in her world, stuck in say, the 1400s? I missed spaceships.

Dragonthis, dragonthat. She write anything about zombies? Or zombies that can set fire to things by pointing at them? Now those kinda books rock.

Earthsea is Ursula K LeGuin, and the Dark is Rising series was penned by Susan Cooper. I read the latter back around the 4th grade, as well; fantastic stuff.
Haven't touched McCaffrey (or Rice; immortality is one of the most horrible things I can imagine), though I do have some fondness for the later Darkover books from Marion Zimmer Bradely (who died before finishing them,  )

Zelazny, Amber.
There's a flashback. I read the first 5 back in Jr High. Stopped the series, huh?
Anyone read Vonnegut?

As far as I'm concerned, that's a tiny price to pay...

I wish I could find more of Alfred Bester's work to read, the Demolished Man kicked my ass.
