Yeah, that and Stranger in a Strange Land are great. I can reread Heinlein and Asimov forever. Another author I like is Gregory Benford - he writes a lot of hard sci-fi.

To that list, I'd add books by David Brin and Vernor Vinge.

 
George R.R. Martin wrote some pretty good Sci-fi back in the day. Tuf Voyaging, a collection of short stories about Haviland Tuf was pretty good. He also wrote some great sci-fi short stories scattered across several different of his book collections.
 
I'm having a terrible time deciding between Rendezvous with Rama (Arthur C. Clarke) and The Lathe of Heaven (Ursula K. Le Guin).
 
Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle, the Mote in God's Eye
Harry Harrison, the Technicolor Time Machine and Bill the Galactic Hero
Harlan Ellison's short story For I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
anything by Isaac Asimov
James Blish Cities in Flight

Great book :thumbsup:

I can read and re-read over and over anything Heinlein and Asimov. Either that one or Stranger in a Strange Land is probably my fav scifi though.
