Any short story collection by Phillip K Dick.
Any series by Isaac Asimov.
Any book by Robert A Heinlein.

My favorites are Stranger in a Strange Land and JOB: A Comedy of Justice. Both by Heinlein.

Anything by Philip K Dick. You're in for a treat, you lucky thing.

FUCK SAKE ninja'd by a few seconds.

Try Hull Zero Three by Greg Bear. It's about an amnesiac man who wakes up on a dying ship with no idea how he got there and has to run from alien type creatures while trying to regain his memory.

 

[meece]

Crusade by David Weber+Steve White. Short but really good.

 

[Lokter]

Any of the Horus Heresy series, by a variety of authors, just google it.
OR
The Gaunts Ghosts series, by Dan Abnett.

They are all warhammer 40,000 related, but are very good books.

Dead space reminded me of Solaris but with no action and alot of talking.
Havent seen the movie though, but while reading it I couldnt understand how they could make a movie out of it.

hhhhmmmmmmmm (looks at personal wall of sf books)

charles stross's laundry novels are good horror comedies

marrow by robert reed

eisenhorn omnibus by dan abnett

any of the new best sf short story collections (theres one every year) the good thing about these is if you don't like the story your reading you can just skip to the next one

peter f hamilton is good but you didn't want space opera so try his novel fallen dragon

 

[Icarion (aka Stockholm)]

Really? am I going to say it.....The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy!

This. But the volume with all five books in one. Occasionally someone will ask you if you're reading a bible. Because its bound in black. Best set of books ever, for the sheer weirdness of them.

 

[cannot_aim]

Isaac Asimov: Foundation series

Peter F Hamilton: Commonwealth saga

 

[fenderstrat]

Try Hull Zero Three by Greg Bear. It's about an amnesiac man who wakes up on a dying ship with no idea how he got there and has to run from alien type creatures while trying to regain his memory.

2001: A Space Odyssey (Clarke)
Rendezvous with Rama (Clarke)
