Best Sci-fi books?

[MendoDave]

+1 on Ender's Game, This book was apparently on the Marine corps reading list as a certain Corporal Couts suggested it to me. (They like their Marines to read a book now and then)

Also, the Illustrated Man, Bradbury 1951. 18 short stories tied together by the "illustrated man" If you like Tatoos that move, this book is for you.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Or anything by Douglas Adams

Have you read it?

I actually did come across a copy of Battlefield Earth in the 80's and started it, but gave up after the first 300 pages.  Granted I was 12 or so, but already reading most sci-fi books around.

I first read it at 11. I've re-read it about 8 or 9 times. Try it again. It does start off a bit slow but the last 700 plus pages are better then the first 300. LOL.
