Dragon Collectibles for the Mind
Nov 12th, 2009 by admin
Dragon stories are in fact dragon collectibles that you carry with you all the time. Once you read a great dragon story it’s yours for all time. You don’t have to dust it, or worry about your cats breaking it. This is true for any good story, but this site is about the joy of dragons. One of the absolute best dragon stories ever told is “Dragonrides of Pern“ series, authored by Anne Mc Caffrey. If you have never read these books you are missing a treat.
Books and movies are great things, each has its strengths and weaknesses. Reading a good book is almost always better than watching a movie. A book that is well written allows your mind to create the pictures. You get much more feel for the characters and the story from a book than from a movie. You get to look into the characters mindset more deeply, giving you more insight into the actions a character takes. I guess that’s why most people will always tell you “I thought the book was better than the movie.”
I do love a good movie. There are lots of great movies, I just have never seen one that was better than the book. Some do come close, “Lord of the Rings” for example. That could just be me, I never really warmed up to the writing style of J.R.R. Tolkien. Anne Mc Caffrey on the other hand has a style that I find engaging and easy to follow. She writes the type of books you find hard to put down.
For a great dragon collectibles story, one that will just make you happy, read The Dragonrides of Pern.
GO to Amazon and check out the “look inside” once you get there.
