What's your favourite older SF story?
 
#26
Hmmm, this is an excellent question. In a lot of ways it begs the difference between "things I liked 20 years ago" and "things I like now that are old".

Weber's Mutineer's Moon is definitely that old, as is On Basilisk Station and the next couple of Harrington books.

C J Cherryh's The Pride of Chanur et seq., Downbelow Station, and much of the rest of the Alliance/Union universe, date to that period.

Chris Stassheff's The Warlock in Spite of Himself...

Robert Lynn Asprin's Thieves' World shared-universe stuff

Barbara Hambly's 'Darwath' trilogy

I was a big fan of Mercedes Lackey's 'elves in modern day' stuff, back then... Still find it readable

Mary Gentle's Golden Witchbreed, one of the early "diplomatic" sci-fi stories

The first two volumes of P C Hodgell's 'Kencyrath' stories, and the first three of Miller & Lee's 'Liaden' universe, are all excellent

Herbert's Dune, of course.

I could probably add a dozen more, I was a voracious reader even then....
