Art, I believe your thinking of The Green Hills of Earth by Heinlein. My favorite story of his is The Door Into Summer. I think I started reading him in the early 60's. The best writer (I believe) right now is David Brin. His stories are fresh and interesting with a lot of thought going into them. Like most of you I am also a Star Trek fan. I still enjoy watching the original shows and The Next Gen. although I have given up on DS9, but Voyager still catches my every once in a while. I got hooked on The Lord of the Rings on a road trip in '68 and have reread several more times. Can't get enough.
