Day 04 — Your favorite book

OK, this one is easy. Anne McCaffrey's DragonFlight. In 7th grade I found this book in the fiction room at Fred Moore Junior High School. (You can tell this was a while ago because I went to a "Junior High" and not a "Middle School".) I don't even know how many times I checked it out and reread it during my 3 years there. I don't know what specifically it was about this book. There were dragons, which were awesome. I also loved the fully developed world Anne created, all the wonderful details. In this book, Anne McCaffrey developed a world that I wanted to go visit.

I think I have a copy (some 1st edition, some signed) of every book she ever wrote. Turns out although Dragonsinger was my first and favorite of Pern, I much prefer her Freedom series. (I'm actually in one of them) We become online friends and then chatted at various Dragon*Cons. She knows who I am, which is saying a lot for an author of her caliber. Great lady.

We had ugly sleet all day in Northfield, but at least it wasn't thread (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(Pern)).
