Anne Mccaffrey' Dragonriders of Pern were my favorites for pure escape for many years, also Decision at Doona, The Ship That Sang, etc. At 60-+ I seem to have reverted to young reading, but read many of the classics in the 1960s and 1970s. One of my favorite reads the last few years was ...The Traveling Pants, real true TEEN-LIT but a wonderful story. I lost the thread of Grafton's alphabet series after Q is for Quarry, but y'all have triggered my appetite for the rest of the stories...great topic!
