3. Hyperion Cantos. In my opinion, the best sci-fi ever written. The first book is a touch slow for some people but still great. After I finished the series I was emotionally depressed because it was over and I didn't want it to end.
by dan simmons yes?
I'll second the Hyperion Cantos. And yes, by Dan Simmons.
I'm more into fantasy. But have read a few SciFi books like Ender's Game. My brother gave me Hyperion for Christmas '08 and I couldn't put it down. As soon as I finished it I went out and bought the rest of the books in the series.
Also if you haven't read Ender's Game I recommend that also. The books in the series after Ender's Game are hit and miss. While I liked Ender's Game better, I did like the rest in the series. But I also know people who liked Ender's Game but didn't like the rest of the series.

I'm working my way back through Asimov's Foundation books.
Still good as ever.

My fav little sci-fi book of all time is "Orphans of the Sky" by R. Heinlein, however as a close second, I'd like to recommend "Enders Game" and "Enders Shadow" (don't like the rest of the series as much, and both of these can be read as stand alone books) by Orson Scott Card
