I've read less than half, but those are all great ones. Glad to see the three Heinlein's near the top (agree with those particular titles, too).

Interesting.
You have one Orson Scott Card. I'd suggest you read his "Postwatch,
the Redemption of Christopher Columbus".

I'm very surprised you have none by Arthur C. Clarke.
Also, none by Turtledove.

I'm also very surprised you have none by Robert Silverberg,
the quality of his work varies greatly, but I'd suggest his
"Hawksbill Station".

I also quite enjoyed "Boundary" by Eric Flint and Ryk E. Spoor.

I am just not a big fan of Arthur C. Clarke (but I do have several of
his books) or Harry Turtledove (zero). Or Robert Silverberg.

My favorite book by Eric Flint is 1632 but Boundary is a close second.

Interesting.
I enjoyed "The Folk of the Fringe" by Orson Scott Card,
but not nearly enough to put it in any top 10.
Care to say what about it you enjoyed so much.

And, by the way, if you liked the above,
I'd suggest you also read Card's "Postwatch,
the Redemption of Christopher Columbus".

And although not real significant, I quite enjoyed
the easy and interesting read by John Varley,
"Irontown Blues, An eight worlds novel"

> @Lynn: I’ve been working my way through your 6-star list. I had
already read several of them. Of the others, so far I totally agree with
your taste in books! Won’t be long, and I’ll have to start on your
5-star list… Do you keep updated lists online anywhere?

Thank you !

The only list that I have is my 1,047 reviews on Big River:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AGJZ2IAEX5W6JZX5A5UCJTD44I3A?preview=true&tag=ttgnet-20

Maybe I should provide an online list like Jame Nicoll (but James is a
professional scifi reviewer):

https://jamesdavisnicoll.com/

Or like Dan Livingston:
