Mansions of space is a 27th century search for the Shroud of Turin. Just a fun book.

Amber - Roger Zelanzy First two or three books in the series, yes. After that they just went off the rails IMO.

Dying Inside by Robert Silverberg
The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg
I could make a long list of great sci fi / fantasy. But these two IMO are quite readable as an adult at any age. More age durable in a manner of speaking.
A separate note. If you keep in mind that it was written in 1963 (relevant for several reasons), Glory Road by Robert A. Heinlein is a lot of fun. Sort of swashbuckling without the sex and profanity.

I just ordered a copy of ‘Stranger In A Strange Land’ to reread it.
I kind of think that the old ‘1984’ model of media/govt. is fading away and we are in a more ‘Stranger In A Strange Land’ media/govt/information world.
