Sci-fi books recommendation [+giveaway]

Oryx and Crake from Magaret Atwood

anything by Isaac Asimov :D Dune series is awesome too!

Jack Campbell's The Lost Fleet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Fleet)

If your looking for free Sci-fi that are a bit more on the entertainment side; Baen publishing every now and then includes a CD with a bunch of e-books, (usually the previous books by that author) in the bound in book. They allow distribution of those CDs as long as they're being given free.
http://thefifthimperium.com/ host all but one of them. Lot of good books in there. I recommend David Weber's Honerverse books or John Ringo's Legacy of the Aldenata series. The two of them also made a pretty good team for the Empire of Man series. Be warned. Ringo starts his books slow as he establishes the book enviroment.

Brave new world, by Aldous Huxley and Philip Dick's Ubik are my favorites

I prefer fantasy over sci-fi so I won't be much of a help here.

However, a good book or saga I would definitely recommend is "The Witcher Saga" by Sapkowski. Damn I love medieval times combined with fantasy.

i heard "Shift" is great if you like the robot vs human books

Perry Rhodan

the holy trinity of sci-fi, everything by them.

Thanks everyone! I put the books you've all recommended on a list and I'm gonna read them all! ..hopefully :D thanks again!
EDIT: but keep posting more ofc :)

vernor vinge - fire upon the deep

Bioshock Rapture

Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein.

I second the Asimov, Dick, LeGuin, Herbert, Bradbury, Heinlein, Card, Banks, etc.

I can also unreservedly recommend anything by Peter Hamilton.

You definately should try The Vorkosigan Saga.

Frank Herberts dune series 1-6 (the stuff written by his son is not so good), the Otherland series by Tad williams

Have you read the GONE series by Michael Grant?
I would seriously recommend those :)

Foundation_series Isaac Asimov http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_series

Vorkosigan_Saga Lois McMaster Bujold http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorkosigan_Saga

The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and The Light of Other Days by Arthur C. Clarke + Baxter.

Rendezvous with Rama and Childhood's End, by Arthur C. Clarke.

If you like a good old fashioned cyberpunk thriller that reads like a mystery action movie; check out Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan.

It's the first book of a trilogy and one of my favorite books. It's graphically violent, sexy, and keeps you guessing right until the end. Can't recommend it enough.

But for my money, the best Science Fiction series ever created was the Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.

If you liked the main idea behind the STALKER games (or movie), check out the main inspiration behind it, called Roadside Picnic. It's VERY different from both the movie and the games, and is its own little thing. It's pretty great, I loved reading through it.

Metro 2033 is a pretty good book as well. I'm not sure which you should take on first, the game or the movie, since whichever you take, will ruin the other one. That being said, I loved the book better. This one's also pretty different from its media counterpart, but it does spoil the ending of it and vice versa. And the ending kicks ass, Outer Limits style.
