I still think the original 5 Pern books are by far the best. The first ones were Dragonflight, Dragonquest, Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and The White Dragon. The rest, you may read because you love the concept, or to follow some of the characters, but most of the originality and charm are ... ... Winds, Storm and By the Sword). An argument could maybe even be made for including Owl, but I won't try it.
And Dragonquest through All the Weyrs of Pern might also count with seven books. ... to work hard at this and maybe I can make it to at least thirty or forty books.

2. Dragonquest by Donita K. Paul
3. Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink ... of Pern books revolve around sex, or "that", as you say. Dragons having it, humans having it. The White Dragon and Dragonquest even have scenes of what is arguably rape between the main character and an unwilling partner (who of course turns willing after repeatedly saying no). Not to ... ... books. There are several of those that fit the bill. If you read the Dragonriders of Pern series (DragonFlight, DragonQuest, The White Dragon), there is an element of romance, and the female characters are quite strong. The last one has a male lead character, but the other two are ... ... Some I;d like to give a try - I have Mutants and Masterminds, which looks cool, and really old copies of Dragonquest and Starmaster (from the early 1980s). I also have some games I have never played, and don't think I ever want to, like Fantasy Wargaming. ... Dragonsinger and Dragonsong were published between Dragonquest and The White Dragon. A third YA volume, Dragondrums was published after The White Dragon but before Moreta and gives more of Piemur's back story. ... by my thread.
In case you didn't know there are two more of Anne McCaffrey's Pern novels which overlap in time with Dragonquest and The White Dragon: Dragonsinger and Dragonsong. They are very much directed to the YA market and will fill you in on Menolly's back story. Sorry, if ... Dragonquest was awesome! A lot more characters developed, such fun banter between all the characters and DRAMA! Loved it!
Book 4 is White Dragon. I loved this one too, but am getting a bit burnt out on dragon tales, so I'm taking an Anne McCaffrey break!
Book 5 is Napalm and Silly Putty ... The Harper Hall books are less complex than Dragonquest They provide a good introduction to the Pern series. It would probably also be more interesting to read Dragonflight before Dragonquest. The Harper Hall books are less complex than Dragonquest They provide a good introduction to the Pern series. It would probably also be more interesting to read Dragonflight before Dragonquest. ... have read Magyk, it was very good. Skulduggery Pleasant is one of my favorites! It is so funny! Right now I am reading Dragonquest, but I find it's hard to get through. Is the Harper Hall Trilogy better? Okay, I LOVED Dragonflight. It was short and fun. Next, please!

I'm with TadAD on the McCaffrey books. Your trilogy is probably three of the earlier books--maybe Dragonflight, Dragonquest, and The White Dragon.

I'm forced to qualify my earlier defense of McCaffrey. I had been in the middle of Dragonsdawn, after finishing the Crystal Singer books, and I do find those 3 ... ... I read the first and second trilogies more or less as they came out - there were SF hints (the Fort Hold plate!) in Dragonquest at the latest).

Is it (either) any good?
I've so far held off reading the pern books that don't fit into the Dragonquest timeline. Are they best read as standalones? or do they really fit into the pern history when read in published (or another) order? ... Fantasy I think of wizards, dragons, fairies, Merlin, magic, swords, Labyrinth, Brian Froud, Faeries, Lythande, Dragonriders of Pern, Conan, Harry Potter, Xena, J. R. R. Tolkein, and the like.

I would reccomend reading Anne Mccaffery in published order. Starts with DragonFlight, then Dragonquest then dragonsong and dragonsinger IMHO it starts to go downhill after that. DragonSong and Dragon singer are my two favourite Pern books. ROTFL.
Reminds me of when my Mum was reading the Dragonriders of Pern series. We were on a car trip, she driving, and I noticed that the speedometer was hovering around 100: "What in hell are you doing?! Look at all those bushes where troopers can hide their cars!"
