Tthere was another thread that was sci fi and fantasy focused in the forums...you should do a search for it....lots of good stuff in there.
I'm currently re-reading neuromancer by gibson again after 12 years. It's amazing when an old book can still seem futuristic and plausible, he was soo far ahead of the curve at the time. Went on a Joe Halderman and Iain M Banks binge recently as well...lots of cool stuff. Also check out the peace wars and marooned in real time by vernor vinge. Great name, great ideas, great writing.
It's all sci fi of late, but that's because I'm doing research for personal projects. There is so much good fiction that isn't sci fi and fantasy out there. I wouldn't even know where to start.
