I do agree with Hakan and Summer, I find niven can be hard to read in places. I do however, still find myself daydreaming about the ring world and the idea of a grand space adventure, built on hard scifi, not fluff. I loved the stories and more the grand Idea of it.

I can't believe much of it I have forgotten and strangely, for a Niven book, I am really struggling now. Either my tastes have changed or the new style of writing is really much more gripping.

It's been a long time since I read Ringworld, I really don't remember it being as humorous as it apparently is. Arrrghh, never mind.

If you did it on purpose, then please feel free to ignore me. thanks Not sure if you were being tongue in cheek or not, I just found this site, but I think you’re confusing Discworld with Ringworld.

What I liked about it was it's at the time unique combination of hard sci-fi and a great sense of humor. I think in some ways the book was the precursor to Red Dwarf.
