Second for Dans Simmons' Hyperion books. Excellent books. Funny, it took me forever to get started on the first book. I couldn't get into it at first and put it down and restarted several times. But, after about the fourth time starting it, I really got into it and couldn't put it down and immediatly bought the second book in the series.

I also love Lord of the Rings and read it every couple of years. I love the Dune books. I don't re-read all of those, but the origianl Dune, and God Emporor of Dune are the best IMO. I've been going through Arthur C Clarkes books lately (The Ramas, Childhood's end, halfway through the Odessy books). Been getting into alot of the older sci fi books, lately: Bradbury, Phillip Jose Farmer's Riverworld series. Love Robert J Sawyer. I would recomend his Calculating God to anyone. I just finished his Neanderthal Parallax series; Very good.

The Mars books by Kim Stanley Robinson are good; there's a few agravating parts, but great sci fi. I read Red Mars and just picked up the second book, Green Mars. Once I'm done with my Arthur C Clarke kick, I'll start reading that.
