Good sci-fi books to read?

Falkenberg's Legion by Jerry Pournelle is a great one.

The Belisarius Series by David Drake and Eric Flint - great series if you have the time. Like 6 books in total. If you want Sci-Fi but love sword and board this one will suck you right in.

Yes i meant Fantasy as well!

And thanks guys/gals!

Game of Thrones is a high fantasy, Death Gate Cycle is an old series, Legion of the Dambed, Anne Rice, Stephen King has some good writes, Margret Weiss or Tracy Hickman, Wheel of Time...what types of things are you asking about? There are Thousands

For Sci-Fi: Dune, Ender's Game, Starship Troopers, The Foundation Trilogy (I haven't read but my friend would be mad at me for not mentioning it anyway.

For Fantasy: The Coldfire Trilogy starting with Black Sun, The Malazan Book of the Fallen starting with Gardens of the Moon! Game of Thrones

Write your own adventure :3

Emberverse Series, starting with Dies the fire. Modern times, big flash....Suddenly the following doesn't work, electricity, gunpowder, steam power. Bring out your claymores and leather jerkins, its time for war.

I keep getting stuck on the 3rd book of that series. Dunno why.

Richard K Morgan's Altered Carbon series. William Gibson's Sprawl Series. Avery Cates series by Jeff Somers. These are all great books that are centered on near future with cyberpunk themes (or progenitors of the entire genre).

I would highly recommend checking out http://www.blacklibrary.com/ , I have always been a big fan off the books and the Dawn of War pc game series.
