Based on the number of times I've read it, "The Sunfishes" by Jack Ellis is my favorite.
You are completely right, there goes my credibility. The book was first published in 1978, revised in 1993 and in 1997, the first paperback edition was published, which I have. Sorry for the mis-info, but I am glad you like it.
