IMO, good decision. I've read most of his stuff. His works are easy to read, the characters, while not deeply developed, are likeable, or at least understandable as they have the same real-world problems as we do. He does have some great ideas that other authors would most likely develop a little more thoroughly, but what the heck, the stories are good.
What can I say? I wholeheartedly agree.
He won the 1995 Nebula for "The Terminal Experiment" and the 2003 Hugo for "Hominids", the first in his Neanderthal Parallax Trilogy. "Humans" and "Hybrids" are the sequels. All are quite good.
I shall endeavor to read those.
