Dealing with Dragons

[unforth]

It makes me so happy that people have read Dealing with Dragons. I read that book when I was in 4th grade, and I have frequently credited it with my becoming the fantasy geek I am today. Before that, I read mainstream kid stuff, like Babysitters Club and Boxcar Children and Little House books. Within a year of reading Wrede, I had read Piers Anthony, David Eddings, Terry Brooks, Tolkien, Robert Jordan, and more...yeah...anyway, I have lots of work to do, but it makes me happy.

I've never heard of that, actually... see, I was a huge Pern fan when I was a kid, and last summer I went out and bought most of the extensive (and still going after 30-some years) series used.
This, of course, led to a childhood obsession with dragons-->pterandons-->dinosaurs in general (when I was 10, anyway). I made dragons out of my various construction sets and played with those, rather than making, you know, buildings and cars with them.

Yay Dragons!
