a few Heinlein fans here I see:
quote
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." :- Robert A Heinlein

Oh and I also like Asimov and Larry Niven's Ringworld-the first one, not the wimpy sequel- was one of the greatest SF novels ever
Also Ursula le Guin-"left hand of darkness" , anyone?
and does anybody remember this marvellous short story called
""By his Bootstrap"-one of the most original time travel stories, which I feel the Back to the Future franchise borrowed from (no evidence that they did though!)..just cant remember who wrote it
