Identify a SCIFI book

It rings a bell but I can’t exactly think of a definitive answer.

Ask the guy who is pretty good at SF Story Identification

Hi there. It’s been just about 4 years since I signed onto the SDMB, but I’m back. A few weeks back I helped out in this thread Help me find this Science Fiction short story - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board with a story identification (by emailing the answer to Wendell). If you’ve got a story you’d like me to try to identify for you, give a description (include a rough idea of when you read it, and as many details as you remember) and I’ll give it my best shot. Andy
