Dragonsex

I spent most of the weekend hanging around the house reading The White Dragon, which I consider the third book of two trilogies, that of Dragonflight/Dragonquest, and that of the Menolly books. F'lar and Lessa have become the oldsters, and Jaxom, Menolly, and Piemur (and Ruth) are the main characters. I like this book quite a bit, though it doesn't speak to me the way it did when I first read it, since I'm now the same age as Lessa, not Jaxom. One thing that I had forgotten was the sub-theme of Ruth's sexual immaturity, and why Jaxom was relieved. Or maybe that just went over my head the first time. I'm charmed by the thought of a roomful of randy dragonriders having their way with each other while blues and browns try to mate with a green. I also suspect there are scores of fanfics titled "Ruth's First 'Flight'".
