In which Dave reveals the Top Ten (-ish) writers in his (sadly uncatelogued) Library, based on the number of books he has by each author. For fun, he’s also listed his favorite book by each author.

This is Part 3 of my world building project for the Daedalus Seven, a generation starship. It focuses on the design for Habitat 6, a cylinder 100 kms long and 10 kms in its radius, and covers the geography and an overview of the cultures.
