ME fans should give Peter Hamilton a shot. Pandora's Star / Judas Unchained have quite a few things in common with the ME universe.

Come to think of it, elements of Pohl's Heechee books also show up in ME. You could almost say that the Heechee books are ME as written by a pacifist. (Yes, I'm aware how bizarre that sounds)

 The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. One of my favorite novels of all time.

This hadn't occurred to me, but now that you mention it, I can definitely see where you're coming from.

Ooh, excellent suggestion!

Arthur C Clarke books are mostly well written.
Nemesis, Foundation Series and Robot Series by Asimov.
Dune Series seems good. I'm looking forward them myself.
And John Christopher Books ... oh he died this year and I didn't know

[General User]

The Honor Harrington Series by David Weber is one I cannot possibly praise highly enough.

Plus an online version of the first book in the series is available for FREE from the publisher!

Just click the link in my sig.  Or just click here:  On Basilisk Station

Try this alternate link.  I don't know about PDF, but it does have a download able zip file and a Kindle option too.

It only hit me when I read about the "dark energy" plot.

I'll third the Heechee books. Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" is a personal favorite - if you've seen the movie, do yourself a favor and read the original - the movie was made by people who did not understand the book and set out to mock it.

[AlanC9]

Or people who did understand the earlier book and set out to mock it.

Heinlein himself doesn't seem to have been too fond of ST in later life.

The Dune series is excellent, although a bit hard to chew. I do recommend it.
I liked Foundation too.

[Pacifien]

Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds, especially if you want to go "wait, haven't I played this game already?" when you realize it's Mass Effect.

Nemesis,

Eww, I read that one. Anything not having to do with FTL travel was a stinker.

[Baryonic-Member]

The first three Foundation books are awesome.

[FutureBoy81]

Asimov Foundation and The gods themselfs, a little difficult to follow at first but the alien world description in this book is worth the read in itself ...

 Loved that book(Nemesis) great character development really can envison this becoming a movie of some sort , Animated (~Japanese) or CGI ....

[AxisEvolve]

Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Personal favorite, INCREDIBLE once you get used to the writing style)
Stranger in a Strange land
2001 + 2010
Hyperion
The Mars Trilogy
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

In all honesty, there are so many.

I've read most of Heinlein. About half of Clarke's work. Some Asimov.

Pick the "high reviewed" ones from those three. You will enjoy.

Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy is excellent and quite possibly one of my favorite book series ever.

Frank Herbert's Dune series is also a must for any sci-fi fan, even if books four and five are a little out there.

[Megaton_Hope]

Look into Andre Norton, I know she wrote a lot. Her "forerunner" books were pretty awesome. And her Beastmaster series was much cooler than the in-name-only adaptations, even though those were also kind of neat here and there.

This one is also a favorite of mine, as well as A Canticle for Leibowitz.

[Beocat]

The Uplift Saga is one of my personal favorites. I had a physics professor who first recommended it to me.

A Canticle for Leibowitz.

That one, for sure.

But not the posthumous sequel, which is terrible.

Yeah it's terrible, sadly.

Seems the author kept trying to write a follow up to Canticle and eventually committed suicide.

Pretty much anything by Timothy Zahn.

Just read Diamond Age, by Neal Stephenson - it still gets into weird and somewhat uncomfortable territory toward the end, like Snow Crash, but the overall plot arc made more sense to me.
