The first book I really read cover to cover - I was eleven or so - was Larry Niven's Neutron Star. I was hooked. For a decade my fav' was Niven's Protector. The grand scale of the concept was like so cool.

I have forgotten a lot of them, Penni, and I read a lot more poetry than fiction!! And there are so many huge mosquitos that I don't want to go running to the bookcase at the moment. My cats are protecting the area around my legs from being eaten alive--they have become skilled mosquito hunters. Because we have had so much rain this year, they are as big as my fist.
