GG... I'm in the midst of recataloguing all my books. Most are in boxes and spread all over the house anyway. The sci-fi is only the largest part of over 2000 books (that doesn't count the comic books, which are mostly collector's editions). If you can get 100 pages or so into the Pliocene saga, you will probably be hooked. It does drag in places, but DAMN!!!... when you get through to the second set, Intervention, and eventually to the Galactic Milieu trilogy where everything comes together, it is mind-boggling. Midnight at the Well of Souls is a gripping read from the first chapter, IMO.
Spindles... I have about 40 Piers Anthony books including the Bio of a Space Tyrant. I enjoyed it, but found that it was probably 1 volume too long. I prefer his Xanth novels (early ones, anyway). I never enjoyed Dune that much, but read the first 3 books. And who doesn't like Heinlein? Space Cadet was the first ever hard cover sci-fi book I owned (when I was a kid). And as I said... the Robot series, and how it eventually tied into the Foundation series was simply one of the greatest plot twists in history, ranking up with the resolution of the Julian May series above.
