Since we're reading military sf this month, I thought I'd nominate as a counterpoint, one of my favourite books, Stardance, about taking art (specifically, dance) into space.

I've had this at home (and unread) since it came out. I won't make a nom this time, as I should just vote for this one and perhaps finally get it read.
