I knew there was a reason I liked you.

Have you ever read anything by Eric Frank Russell perchance? Most of his books are out of print at the moment, but I suspect you'd enjoy him immensely.

To name some names of authors that everyone should read at least once (aside from the blindlingly obvious ones like Clarke, Asimov and Herbert):
Nevil Shute
JG Ballard (particularly his short stories)
Frederick Pohl
Iain (M) Banks
Gregory Benford
Poul Anderson
John Brunner
Lindsey Davis
James Blish
Harry Harrison
Graham Greene
