Niven RINGWORLD

RINGWORLD by Larry Niven. I count four readings of this classic. The sense-of-wonder may have dimmed a little with each pass but the sense-of-awe at Niven's creation is still as actinic as it was on the first pass. The venue of the Ringworld is the most jaw-dropping and daydream-inspiring place in all of science fiction. I am glad there are three more novels in the Ringworld sequence. Now that I have been back, I want to revisit the great arc. Niven has great characters and a firm grasp of plot, but his forte is letting his readers into his Playground of the Mind. Send your mind out to recess. Play in the Ringworld for a bit.
