Inspired by the front page update, what good books/authors have you read recently that you can recommend?

My personal favorite (author) is Roger Zelazny at the moment, his books are mostly sci-fi, with a twist of fantasy ( Chronicles of Amber ) and some epic sci-fi - many of his books feature characters with supoerhero/godlike attributes. Definatly worth checking out.

Then there is Heinlein of course, who pretty much started the sci-fi genre.

Heinlein Rocks. Stranger in a strange land. The Girlfriend has started me in on Piers Anthony, also Harlin Ellison (demon with a glass hand, hope it finally gets made into a movie).

This was a great book. Even if this guy can't interpret history he weaves a compelling story that can at least be classified as great fantasy and science fiction. But I really think he's on to something here.
