Did you read any or the Ringworld sequels?  I read the next one in the
series, Ringworld Engineers.  After that, not sure if its worthwhile
to continue on.

A great book, by Niven and Pournelle is "The Mote in God's Eye".  This
was quite thought provoking and raised questions about how our
behaviour, our instincts doom us, make us resigned to a paricular
fate.
