I picked up The Mote in God's Eye from a second-hand bookshop. I'd seen it around before, but the odd title put me off. So far it seems good—Royal Navy in space, strange object to be investigated, crew with strong humorous Scottish accents. I'm beginning to see why this site makes fun of Neofeudalism and Empires in Space—they seem to turn up fairly frequently.

Non-neo-con Republican tending to the libertarian. I think. Not religiouos right but not out of sympathy with them either. There's a post on that site half-heartedly defending Intelligent Design.
(NB that Heinlein also rated The Mote in Gods Eye)

Oh, well, those aren't my buttons. I believe in God, so intelligent design doesn't bother me.
Heinlein, mind you...too much sex and not enough story, IMO.
