...a quote from the Book of Honor lol

If you want to get immersed in an enjoyable science fiction story, start off with Ringworld by Larry Niven. (1970)

That one book, Ringworld, spawned 3 sequels years later due to demand. It also opened up "Known Space" to some of the best sci-fi authors alive (and dead) since then. The Man-Kzin Wars alone has produced 14 books of short stories (and some really good long ones) by great names in the field.
It culminates in the last 4 books (2014... I think was the last one) about the Puppeteer home worlds involving two of the four main characters from the original Ringworld book.

I highly recommend.

Some of the best of those short stories in the Man-Kzin Wars series were the ones based upon Humphrey Bogart classics like Casablanca and Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Great stuff. Made me reread some of the original material.
