Anne McCaffrey

Creator of the boring, boring Dragonriders of Pern SF-Fantasy series, She has expressed a number of unscientific/crazy opinions including the one that getting a tent-peg up the butt will turn you gay.

You should only read Pern if your world view allows for flying lizards that are not dragons. Also, if you have been trapped on the Moon or something because Jesus Christ there's a lot of these and pretty much any other book series will entertain you more.
