Co-signed, heartily! Rendezvous with Rama is just ok for me, as a big ideas book, I liked it. But plot, character, and great writing style - things I looks for in all my books, including SF - are not really features. No way would I recommend it as a 'gateway' book to SF.
Tell us what else you like, and what you like about them, and let us help! (If you want.) Do you like pacey adventure? Deep character study? Comedies of manners? Detective stories?
