Anne McCaffery anyone? - Page 3

I think I like the Pern series better than the others. I actually think that I like the Acorna books the least. They are a good story, but I just can't get really interested in them! I think the last book she wrote was The Skies of Pern, although Acorna
something came out close to that time. It is definitley time for a knew book, unless Anne McAfferey has really bad arthritis and died or something! Oh, and I am pretty sure Nimisha's ship is in a series because I saw a book called The Ship Who Sang

I think that The Ship Who Sang is in a different sereis. There is also, A Ship Who Won and one other one I think.

that one is a series that branched out of a series I think. It seems like its in the same universe as the Dinasaur Planet ones. Does any one else want a sequel to Decision at Doona?

Lady of Darkness · 01-11-2003, 10:52 PM

gimmegimmegimme Anne McCaffrey!!!! gimme new book nownow!!!! yea so I agree that she needs to send out a new book for the Pern series, but she's prolly really busy with her other series or something. I mean, Skies of Pern came out 3-5 years after the previous one, I think. Hopefully she won't take that long this time....

she might be done with the perns...

Lady of Darkness · 01-13-2003, 07:21 PM

I dont think so.... she always does this, it's hard for a writer to grind out book after book. I mean, after a while, it's harder to think up things for a specific topic...
SHE BETTER KEEP WRITING!!!!!! or I swear I'll go mad!!!

>chuckle< To the best of my knowledge, Anne Mc Caffrey is alive and well.

And for all you people who demand a new book, have you yet read A Gift of Dragons? It's her newest published book on Pern and consists of short stories. I have it and it's absolutely wonderful!

I hope she isn't totally done with the Perns. There is so much more material she could go into, especially after Skies!

Elf.Freak · 01-22-2003, 12:53 PM

i liked the Pern books, my sis is a HUGE fan and made me read them!

Lady of Darkness · 01-22-2003, 03:37 PM

Good for your sister!!!
What is your favorite Pern Book, or book by Anne McCaffrey?

Feeling like the orcs chewed me, found me too hard to chew, spat me out, ran over me with an army of 10041425425255245252525 orcs and then buried me alive. In other words, like a piece of dung

Hee hee, that's what I did with my mom. She got so tired of hearing me talk about them and having no idea what I was talking about that she decided to read them. She loved them too! It's fun to talk about the books in front of the rest of my family and see the puzzled looks on their faces.

cee2lee2 · 01-22-2003, 09:28 PM

I have jury duty this week and have been reading A Gift of Dragons during the waiting time. It's been a great week!

Lady of Darkness · 01-24-2003, 06:28 PM

Jury duty, from what I've heard from my mom, is a great time to catch up w/ stuff, but she had it for almost 2 months, making it hard for me to get places

Its eaither the ship that sang of the ship that searched, I haven't read the ship that fought

Lady of Darkness · 01-24-2003, 11:21 PM

really? what are they about?
LoD

TwirlingString · 02-16-2003, 08:23 PM

The ship books are about what societies decided to do with many people who were born with huge inabiliteis (like completely paralized sorts of things), they make them into the brains of shis aka brainships. The main harcters of her stories are all the people who've really stuck out. The Ship that Sang was the only singing ship, it was her hobby, and she discovered a new diseaese, the ship that searched was born normal but one day out on a dig with her parents she got hit by a nasty virus and became completely paralized. She found and entirely new species and came up with the idea of building androids with full sensatory equipment for brainships. The city that fought is about one of the out uses for brains, they can become the central computers of cities. I think this entire series takes place in the same universe as the Dinasaur planet one but I'm not sure.

Lady of Darkness · 02-20-2003, 10:40 AM

I'm just gonna say one thing. Ships that Sing are creepy. I'm not sure if I actually get what the books are about, so I'll go check them out of the library....
LoD

TwirlingString · 03-10-2003, 01:32 AM

What I'm trying to say is that instead of AI they use people for computers and the Ship that Sang got bored and became a singer/composer...

Lady of Darkness · 03-10-2003, 07:40 PM

I was kidding.
anyway
obsessed am I?
