10. "The Legacy of Heorot" by Niven and Pournelle.

Reading it again after reading it for the first time in 1988. At that time there was a huge science-fiction convention here in Columbia, Missouri, and Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle were the honored guests. I got all of the copies of their books that I had then signed, including "The Legacy of Heorot," which had come out recently. It was a great read then, and it's a great read now, especially if you like science-fiction novels about colonists on planets in other star systems. This one is Tau Ceti Four.

The last novel I read is "Way Station" by Clifford D. Simak. I have now read that novel about a half-dozen times in about 60 years, and it is one of my favorite novels ever. It won a Hugo, in fact.

Both "The Legacy of Heorot" and "Way Station" would make GREAT movies, if any Hollywood people are reading this ...
