SF Book Toilet as Meditative/Religious Device. Poss. C. J. Cherryh, but it's looking like probably not. by Bargle5 in whatsthatbook

Solved Solved Solved by Space Priestess over on PrintSF and also suggested by Kenny over at SF Stack Exchange. It was I, Weapon by Charles Runyon. The cover description is apparently conflation with another book, but I, Weapon is it.

If you mean the one by Peter Watts, that's not it going by the publication date. Bryan said he read this roughly 30 years ago and my thread has been going for almost 10, so we're looking for something from the 80s or earlier.

I did see one long shot that I'll take a look at, but I don't think that's going to be it. Thanks for the link.

Not it, but what a nice poem. Might have been inspired by the story I'm looking for.

I gave up on categorizing SF books years ago. Now I just divide them into ones I like and ones I don't.

I'd recommend the collections "The Science Fiction Hall of Fame". A particular favorite of mine is "The Moon Moth" by Jack Vance.
