Quiet, isn't it?

OK, let's try and get the ball rolling...

I have always been very conservative in my choice of reading matter,
sticking to the few authors I knew and liked and very reluctant to move
outside that limited sphere.  However, that has recently changed with my
acquisition of a Nook e-readerand I have probably read more new (to me)
stuff in the last six months than I did in the previous ten years.

So, my question is this: what Traveller related books and authors would
the list recommend me to read?

Many thanks,

David Shaw
