RIP Anne McCaffrey, 1 April 1926 - 21 November 2011
Her writing inspired me and lifted my spirit
She was one of the authors I grew up with
Fly with the dragons Anne

I read all the earlier Dragonrider stuff.

And girlfriends always loved them.

Ditto and ditto. I can't reread her stuff these days but as a kid I loved it. RIP Anne.

I've only read a few of her thinks she wrote with Mercedes Lackey but I know a ton of people who grew up reading the Pern novels.

I seem to be among the few people who actually preferred The Rowan and its sequels to the Pern series, but I still thoroughly enjoyed everything of hers I ever read. Always sad to see yet another great talent pass on.

I was seriously bummed to hear this... she's been on my list of people I'd like to meet for years. Unfortunately, it'll never happen now.

A wonderful author, I enjoyed many hours of reading the Dragonriders series. Sadden to hear the news.

Oh man! I loved her Dragonriders series. Very sad news. RIP Ms McCaffrey, and thank you.

Am I the only one that liked the "Brain & Brawn Ship" series?
