I've been getting through more and more sci-fi books and would love recommendations on the books you've all enjoyed.

For myself I thought the Xeelee series was brilliant. Taking us from the dawn of time through to the end of the universe and around again. Fighting aliens from other dimensions and the creators of the universe themselves.

Hmm, none of them except maybe expanse fits to me, I read the whole series as it came out, and it was decent, I liked the different genre for each book schtick that they were doing.

I'm not much for the depressing and horror stuff, I need optimistic happy stuff with good people being good to each other. The world is shitty enough as it is.

The hyperion is hyped up so much by pretensious people that I just never wanted to read it. I did go in that trap with the Banks books, I thought there must be something I'm missing, since so many people love them, but I just never did.
