Yes!...A Mote in God's Eye, definitely one of my all-time, top-10 favorites. Also the first two Ringworld books. Last year I went through and read all the Ringworld-related books, starting with the "known space" short story collections, then re-read the first two Ringworld books, then the belated sequel Ringworld books by Niven alone, then all the "...of Worlds" books. I had never read the "...of Worlds" books and was pleasantly surprised at their quality, as Niven's collaborations with authors other than Pournelle tend to be his worst books, some of them just awful (especially the collaborations with Steven Barnes).

I'd not heard of C.J. Cherry[h], I just Googled a little and it looks like something I might like, so I bookmarked Downbelow/Cyteen for my to-read list, thanks! I started reading SF when I was in junior high school in the late 60s and it was what started me on the road to being an avid reader of many kinds of books, but there were periods when I would read other kinds of books for years and neglect SF, so there are many authors that I have yet to discover.
