I read the Dragonriders of Pern and Harper Hall trilogy. F'nor/Canth, Ruth, and Golanth & Zaranth are my all time favorites! And the Masterharper. ACK! I read The Skies of Pern (uh, that's the Golanth & Zaranth one.), and I found out what happened to all my favorites, and then something terrible happened to Golanth -- I almost cried. It was so depressing. Well, I hadn't read the Dragonrider trilogy, at the time, so my fav. was Robinton. If you don't know what happened, I won't tell you. I didn't know the series at the time and didn't know I'd picked up the latest book. It was shocking. But I still loved it, and reread it twice!
