    Two of Vernor Vinge's books in particular (science fiction): A Fire Upon The Deep, and A Deepness In The Sky.

    They have a special place in my heart. Vinge didn't write much, but what he did write I think is very special indeed.

    I've also taken to buying hardbacks of my favourite books from ebay.

      If you haven&#x27;t read about his (technical) system for writing, do so. Very geeky. He described it (including notes) in my ebook copy of Fire Upon The Deep
