Good Sci-Fi books
bff:
Stranger in a Strange Land becomes an almost completley different book when you read the uncut version that came out a few years ago.
I am surprised no one has mentioned the "Sprawl" trilogy (Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive) by William Gibson or "Snowcrash" by Neal Stephenson.
lestack:
My current favourites are anything by Karen Traviss. City of Pearl is the first novel in her wess'har series, and she's also wrote a few Star Wars novels which are INCREDIBLY GOOD, better than most of the ones I ever read before.
I also like Matthew Woodring Stover, although he's got more Fantasy/historical fantasy type stuff. Although it's not happy and shiny and smiley like tolkein, it's more like tolkein pissy from heroin withdrawal, and then his wife cut off his gnads :-P
Mayeye:
I'm a bookaholic (seriously, I've got a problem), but here are some of my recent faves.
Stephen Baxter--Coalescent/Exultant/Transcendent
Greg Bear--Darwin's Children/Darwin's Radio
Anything by Sheri Tepper (The Fresco is probably my favorite)
Oh lord--I forgot China Mieville... awesome books.
Weirdest thing I've read in recent memory is House of Leaves. Very strange and interesting book.

I thought Darwin's Radio was incredible. While a good read, Darwin's Children was not nearly as good imho.
Disgruntled Jack:
The Otherworld quadrilogy b yTad Willians is good.
(only problem is that the loose ends fly together dangerously fast near the end of the last book.)
