Dragonflight, by Anne McCaffrey.

I'm afraid I can't give a logical, thoughtful reason. But I remember, with crystal clarity, sitting in the noisy middle-school cafeteria and re-re-re-reading Lessa's Impression to Ramoth, thinking This. This is why I don't fit in. This is not my world, and I don't want it to be, because why would I want to live here when I could ride a dragon on Pern? It's kind of liberating, that moment you realize that there are, in fact, other worlds than these (say thankya, Mr. King) and you are not limited to only one.

Delaware, in the USA.
