Re: What to read next...classic sci-fi recommendations?

Two off the top of my head...

William Gibson - Neuromancer is a tad dated these days, but still a classic. Pretty much anything else he's written is pretty good as well. His most recent trilogy (Pattern Recognition, Spook Country, and Zero History) aren't really sci-fi, technology has caught up with him over the years. They're still a pretty good read, though.

Harry Harrison - it's been a while since I've read anything by him, but I always enjoyed the Stainless Steel Rat and Bill, the Galactic Hero series. Worth checking out if you're looking for something more funny and less serious.
