Folks,
	I would suggest the Flinx series by Alan Dean Foster.  These box
are generally quite readable and fast paced, with the plots fairly inter-
esting.  The protagonist ages from 14 or so up to 17 or 18 in the first four
books, and is seen at a much later date in the last book in a co-starring
role.  The sequence is:

	For Love of Mother-Not
	The Tar-Aiym Krang  ( I think )
	Orphan Star
	The End of the Matter
	BloodHype

	Also by Foster, the book "Iceworld" and it's sequel "Mission to Moulokin
are good too.  These books, with the exception of "FLOMN" are Foster's earlier
work, and better than the drivel he has been coming up with lately, like 
"The Man Who Used the Universe", or any of his movies novelezations.
	The Svetz stories by Larry Niven, compiled in "The Fight of the Horse"
are also on a level to be enjoyed to younger people, although these stories
were not written with that market in mind.  They are just good SF.  As for 
myself, I was blooded on Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes", and SF
has been an addiction ever since.
	Also, does anybody know if The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
is out in paper back yet ??
