Ann and I thought this over for a while and we put this list together.
There
are more than ten books here, but we think these are all worthy of listing.
These are listed in no particular order.

The five books of this
trilogy are a very funny satire of the human condition as well as a good
story read.

An iteresting look into a future where
people who's unfunctional bodies are replaced by rocket ships.

Final Reckoning, The Fate of Bester by J Gregory Keyes
This is the final of
a
trilogy of Babylon 5 books on telepaths. The last book follows the the final
days in the life of Babylon 5's psi cop Bester. Ann feels that is the best
Bester story ever written.

We started to read this and his
other books after we found out he was the name sake of the B5 psicop. His
books have a unique sense of humor and are fun to read.
