So... here's one in YOUR eye!

But, on the gripping hand...

I started _The Mote in God's Eye_ the night before last. This is my
second read of it, having read ALL available copies of Larry Niven
novels (100+) in the last decade. Havaing just read some Heinlein
recently, I can now say that I've enjoyed Niven's writings a tad more
than even Heinlein's. Norton, Deitz, Drake, Ringo, and Hunter are all
tied for third.


Oops, forgot Weber.


David Webers Honor Harrington series..I just finised the the entire lot
over the past 5 days. I think there are 14 of them.

But if you read them...read them in ORDER.


Absolutely. Our library was missing one and I missed a lot of
reference by not reading it. Yes, excellent. My favorite was
_On Basilisk Station_.

P.S: I'll bet you LOVED her treecat, Nimitz, especially after she
learned to read his feelings during one particular duel. (Crom, I
loved that one.)


Which duel..Young and the gun, or the other guy with the sword?

G

In the last 2 or 3 of the series (and its hardly done yet)...the
treecats are taught Sign Language..and start putting their two cents
in..and people start listening....

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
