[color=#000000ost_uid0]For me it's gotta be [iost_uid0]Dune[/iost_uid0] for reasons too numerous to mention. The prequel trilogy is quite good too, though in a pretty different style to the oriiginal sextruplet. Other than that it's all sorts really - lots of Clarke, Asimov, that kind of thing. I also got a collected short stories of JG Ballard for my birthday recenly, some of which are pretty wierd I can tell you. I've never read any [iost_uid0]Trek[/iost_uid0] novels though - whenever I'm in a bookshop there's usually something else that catches my eye.

Coincidently if anyone is interested in the [iost_uid0]Doctor Who[/iost_uid0] novels they have several on the BBC Cult site - I've only had the time to read the one, but it was pretty good. I also recommend (especailly if you have broadband) the animated audio stories, though you need to have RealPlayer to view them.[/colorost_uid0]
