Larry Niven

Today, Love All Books is, once again, a day late and a dollar short celebrating a birthday, this time the birth of science fiction and fantasy golaith Larry Niven.

Larry Niven is the Hugo, Locus, Ditmar, and Nebula award winning author of countless excellent books.

He is perhaps best known for Ringworld—the book that is quite possibly the jewel in the crown of his Known Space series.

In addition, he has written a number of fine books with Jerry Pournelle (I can personally—and quite strongly—recommend Inferno, Lucifer's Hammer, and Oath of Fealty) and with Steven Barnes (I greatly enjoyed Dream Park). He's also written with a number of other authors (books that I haven't gotten to yet, but I'm willing to bet they are fantastic.)
