If you're looking for some interesting near-space stuff, I recommend Stardance, by Spider and Jeanne Robinson. If you ignore the last bit that sorta imitates 2001, it has lots about how to deal with micro-gravity and small habitats, and the personal issues that occur. It helps that this book won both Nebula and Hugo. I don't really like the followup novels, but the first one is great. Spider is a hoot, and his wife (at the time the book was written) ran a rather well known modern dance troop in Halifax.
