rofl!!! Ahem. *cough* Pern *cough* is on my list of 'feel good' books as well. And I don't even have the excuse of "childhood favorites" to justify it, as I discovered Pern in my 20s!
Of course, the first ones I found were All the Wings of Pern and Dragonsdawn, which appealed to me in good measure because of the egalitarian society represented in each (and the mashup of pre-industrial & space-age cultures). It wasn't till years later that I read some of the earlier books and went WTF??? What is up with these characters I know from later in the timeline to have sane boundaries, now merrily raping away??? *headdesk*
