The Rama series, and Hell Worlds series were also some pretty good reading.

I can't remember the name of another series. The aliens had 2 smaller right hands, and a larger left hand. All their logic was 3 sided.
This or that, vs. on the other hand

The Mote in Gods Eye and The Gripping Hand. Pretty good.

THX, I had forgotten the titles & will have to give them another read some day.

Another silly series that I liked was the Xanth series.
Xanth, the magical world from the mind of Piers Anthony. Where everyone has a magical talent, from making spots appear on a wall to controlling the weather. Those with "Magician caliber" talent become the King.

Alan Dean Foster is another writer that comes to mind. Mainly for his Flinx(and his mini-dragon) series.
