I would break to read DragonSong and DragonSinger before White Dragon; you gain a bit of insight into a couple of characters and situations that way. DragonDrums also builds up a character, introduced in DragonSinger, that shows up in the White Dragon. Good luck finding this one, it isn't in print near as often. I think DragonSong is probably the most reprinted of this early set. Moreta: DragonLady of Pern occurs before DragonFlight, then Nerilka's Story follows on from Moreta. Both stand alone quite well; my favorite for characterization is Nerilka; Moreta may be better adventure. Moreta explains a ballad mentioned in DragonFlight, 'Moreta's Ride'. Like the Moreta book, "The MasterHarper of Pern" goes back to before Dragonflight to explain background on the harper Robinton. Note this one was published in 1998 - not contemporary to the early Pern books. It happens before Dragonflight - I think saving it for a followup until after reading the rest would work out, maybe before reading Moreta. DragonQuest is the continuation of DragonFlight.

Dragonquest, The White Dragon (both in the book Sarah loaned me), or something else? So what should I read next? Dragonquest, The White Dragon (both in the book Sarah loaned me), or something else?

I should have realized there were many more books by McCaffrey I could have been reading since then!

This and the Harper Hall trilogies are some of the few books I'll return to and read again and again. I have most of the following books; I'm a bit behind but determined to change that. I've even mentioned the Pern world on my blog a few times. It's been a very influential series for me. Ahh… this trilogy was my first intro to SciFi/fantasy.
