While not my favorite author by any means, she wrote some pretty influential works.

Yeah, I read a bunch of her stuff in HS and college. Well, she had a long and prolific life.

I do believe I read everything she wrote up to the late 90's. I may have to break out some of her stuff I still have and do some rereading.

Read all the Pern books. It was the start of my sci-fi reading history!

Loved the Pern books during H.S. and college, it was just last year that I realized I hadn't read them all. I shall re-read them (and fill in the blanks), in honor of her passing.

For those who don't know what we are babbling about: Anne

After looking at the list I believe I have read every one of her books. Nothing didn't look familiar.

I liked the way she wrote.
