Yes, I do remember the "Mote in God's Eye". *About a race that could
not practice birth control so their civilization kept ending in
extreme overpopulation. *I forget how the problem was solved.

I was a teenager when I read the book, and I remember so little about
it. *What you described evoked memories of the alien race in that
book. *I came across a copy of the book a couple of years ago at a
yard sale. *I purchased it to read again, and I started to do that
last winter. *For some reason I never got beyond the first few pages.
(I've got too many books going at the same time right now.) * All of
this has me reminsicing about favorite books, though. *The "High
Crusade" by Poul Anderson was a lighthearted read, and Le Guin's "The
Left Hand of Darkness" was a thought-provoking work. *Then there was
"The Forever War"... *

You need to read "Old Man's War" by John Scalzi and his companion
works "Ghost Brigades" and "Zoe's War".

Is there a reason why, Tom? *I really gave up on Sci-fi years ago. And
my reading list is overwhelming as it is. * And I have opened
concurrently; "Hypatia of Alexandria," "World Masterpieces since the
Renaissance," and "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of
Crowds." *I have never been an organized reader.
