There are some great recommendations in this thread. I'll never get through them all

My recommendations are pretty basic, but if someone asked me where to start with scifi, this is where I'd send them...

Lois McMaster Bujold
The whole Vorkosigan series - very richly-developed, human chacters

Larry Niven
Ringworld - what can I say? It's a classic!

Roger Zelazny
The first Amber series - one of the most original things I ever read

The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldridge by Philip K Dick.

Although if you are of a paranoid temperament I would advise against it

This is such a HUGE message thread it would be a good idea to go through it and cull out the information ... then paste it as a single document somewhere.
