Ringworld

This is my third science fiction novel this month. I am weary of this genre! So that is why I couldn't wait to finish this book. It never really grabbed me. Sigh. I am going back to my type of fiction. I am hoping to read The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. More my speed and one I have wanted to read for quite some time. 

Here is why James Mustich thinks it should be one of the 1000 Books You Read Before You Die:

“Hard” science fiction—heavy on technical detail and informed with scientific precision—reached a pinnacle in the best work of Larry Niven, who, in his heyday, seemed to occupy a galaxy all his own. His headlong and engrossing novel Ringworld, which spawned several sequels, illustrates his most captivating qualities as a novelist.
