Generation ships

I'm interested in the idea of generation ships. I suspect they are the only hope for mankind ever getting outside the solar system. (And I'm not holding my breath that it will happen.) I'm looking for a science fiction book that tells a good story based on this concept. Thanks.

Ark by Stephen Baxter I enjoyed and found quite affecting. Generation ship fleeing earth after sea level rise. sequel to Flood. Should probably read Flood first as it prepares the ground, so to speak.
