I chose to read Ringworld because of it's Nebula/Hugo winning status.
It has some interesting ideas but the plot meanders and the characters are dry. I can understand that the aliens might be written in such a way as to be inscrutable but the humans came off as not much different from the aliens - not real people.
The writing style was somewhat dreamy and indirect, and reminded me of the golden age sci-fi that I'm sure Niven was heavily influenced by.
This is not a particularly long book but I found it very slow going.
