2nd poll in as many days. You're beginning to get my respect back for all your non-poll slackin!
Heck, i just love to participate in polls.
I want excitement. How 'bout a real alien invasion.
Alien invasion = probably bad. No thanks. I'll take boring and safe, anytime.
I'd be best as a space pilot.
I'd be best as a space astro-navigator.
I'd be best as a space engineer.
I'd be best as a space IT/computer/electrical engineer.
I'd be best as a passenger of a space vessel. My skills lie elsewhere.
Other, for there is always an 'other.'

Just got back from my deep space scouting mission.

I think the Gutenberg Project is stupendous, I've downloaded a lot of their books - not just sci-fi, but everything that caught my eye. The first book I downloaded from it way back last millennium was "The Art of War."

Feel free to list some Traveller-themed science fiction books for the rest of us, cliff. I, for one, would love some suggestions.

I'm not sure any of the ones I've snagged could be considered Traveller themed... everything there is out-of-copyright, so they tend to be pretty old. Lots more classic sci-fi than hard sci-fi. I'm just about to head out for the evening, but I'll try to remember to post some of the sci-fi I have snagged.
The first and most obvious is pretty much anything by Jules Verne... he's rather well represented there.

Flatland: a romance of many dimensions (Illustrated) by Edwin Abbott
Robots of the World! Arise! by Mari Wolf
The Eyes Have It by Phillip K. Dick
