The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. I haven't read this book yet, although it is on my shelf. I am pretty sure it has exactly what you are looking for.

Yes. I have read most of Sawyer's work and I find it very fast-paced and fun to read. Very often there is a mystery to be solved. Character development isn't so great, but that's not what I look for when I read Sawyer. Some of my personal favorites are The Terminal Experiment, Calculating God...

Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates I also like Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas Both funny reads by Tom Robbins.

Simple. If silverseason if anything other than a straight white Christian male, it's "discrimination". I know it sounds like a joke, but it pretty much is the reality these days. Just so you know, I agree that it should be the hiring manager's decision. But when we have "equal opportunity"...

She wondered what it would have been like to be perfect. Ship of Destiny by Robin Hobb

The Wheel of Time series. I got through about four books and just couldn't take anymore of Rand's whining and the Aes Sedais' arrogance. No, thanks!

Thank you lenny, SFG75, and Elaina for the welcomes. :)

Right now (and this could change) my favorite author is John Crowley. His prose is almost poetry, and always sets such a wistful, mysterious mood that draws me in and then leaves me with a painless ache for more when I am done reading. Might not be everybody's cup of tea, but I live for...

Do I believe in God? I don't know. What is the first cause? Man certainly doesn't know. Do I have faith? Some. Without it, I wouldn't accomplish anything. Do I believe in religion? No.

Hi, thanks for the welcome. I agree. I like what I have read of hers so far. I am also waiting until the entire Shaman trilogy is available before I start reading it.

I concur with these.

:D With all joking aside, I would probably let my children read what they wished, as long as they were capable of understanding the content and context. Of course, teaching them to comprehend these things would be part of my job as a parent.

I thought it was excellent, yet also quite disturbing. If you enjoy Philip K. Dick, you should like this book. I won't say anymore.

Lost within the Serewood, on my way to finding the true path. Hmmm, sounds like my real life. ;)

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald This is assuming I have children, which I don't. I would tell them it's just too damn boring. Of course, if they insisted, I would say "Well, it's your funeral." :p

The Summer Queen by Joan D. Vinge Otherwise: Three Novels and Novelties and Souvenirs: Collected Short Fiction both by John Crowley

I generally don't go to see movies much anymore. The plot lines have been so weak in recent years. :sad:

I really have no idea. Thousands, I would guess. That doesn't take into account how many books I have re-read. I often find the second or third reading of a book to be more enjoyable. I usually can relax with it and get more out of it.

Hi, Joderu95. Currently I am reading Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Just recently I have read the first two of Robin Hobb's Liveship Trader's trilogy, most of Asimov's Foundation series, The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, and The Book of Atrix Wolfe by Patricia A...

Hi Robert, Libra6Poe, and Libra. Thank you for the welcomes. Glad fantasy and sci-fi are popular around here. :D
