Either:
Cities in Flight - James Blish

It's hard to know where to start so here's a slection of my favourites, books I've read at least 2-3 times
The Ender Saga and Ender's Shadow series - Orson Scott Card
World War and Colonisation Series - Harry Turtledove
Rendezvous with Rama - Arthur C. Clarke
[WARNING] May contain trace levels of sarcasm

Clive Barker - Weaveworld and also Cabal
Stephen King - Green Mile
Graphic Novel - Lobo : Bounty Hunting for Fun & Profit (DC Comics)
Not strictly sci-fi but
Frank Herbert : Dune
Everything by Douglas Adams (Hitch-hikers huide to the galaxy; A trilogy in five parts! But is bettered by the Dirk gentley Books)
Everything by Terry Pratchett - If you can't get into DiscWorld, then try Good Omens.
I also like Robert Rankin and his 5 part Brentford Trilogy (Also love all his other books, can't remember the names off the top of my head as its years since I've read them)
I liked Good Omens by Pratchet and Gaiman
Another favourite of mine is the Myth books by Robert Asprin but they are so hard to get hold of. I got them from the library years ago and couldn't get enough of them but can't find them anywhere now.
Finally I really like H.P Lovecraft and his Cthulhu mythos (Brian Lumley has done a few of these also). I managed to get Dagons Wish and Other Exaltations a while ago but that has gone missing unfortunately, something else I want to replace and will have to look out for. Theres 3 books in total with all his short stories in them.
Good Omens is fantastic - "Crawley, you BASTARD! Holy Water??!!"
Dune - Frank Herbert
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? - Philip Dick
Chariots of the Gods - Erich Von Daniken
All the above for different reasons and all at different times when I was growing up. The Danniken book, which was a monster seller when it first came out, is utter tosh but I really loved it when I was young.
What worries me is that all my choices are pseudo-religious books
A few science fiction books I've enjoyed:
Julian May's Saga Of The Exiles trilogy
Julian May's Intervention.
Julian May's Galactic Milieu trilogy.
Damnation Alley & Lord of Light - Roger Zelazny
Finally got round to reading The Hobbit and Lord of The Rings Trilogy - I'm about half way through The Return Of The King right now - but that's not really Science Fiction, is it?
Another vote for Rendezvous with Rama. What a book. The sequels are readable but not as good as the original.
Rich :¬)
The Memory Of Whiteness - Kim Stanley Robinson
Mini!!!!!
for pure sci-fi, probably Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan...
...but I have to say that most of bookshelf is occupied by discworld novels.
World War and Colonisation Series - Harry Turtledove. bloody brilliant
Night's Dawn trilogy - Peter F. Hamilton. Cant recomend these books enuff.
Any of the Battletech books mostly the Michale stackpole ones.
Conquerors trilogy - Timothy Zahn. all so recomend
Apocalypse troll - David weber. very good book, has sum intresting tech.
Absolutely - you read any of PFH's Greg Mandel series? Outstanding stuff.
