A good story well told is a good story well told, outdated tech and merely craftmanslike chacterization aside. I've just reread Time Enough for Love off the shelf, picked at random, but (my books being in no searchable order) it's inspired me to plan a trip to the library for Number of the Beast, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls and To Sail Beyond the Sunset. And maybe Mistress and Stranger. I tend to reread the Foundation books and the space odysseys at least decadely too. (Ringworld novels also, for the record, though you're not singling out anyone alive.)
