Star of the Guardians (and it's spin offs), Margaret Weis & Don Perin
Dream Park Trilogy, Niven & Barns
and option 3 keeps changing but includes lot's of stuff by Robert Hienlien, Niven & Barns. Red Dwarf or Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (for a laugh) and this is just my short list and suspificaly excludes my Cyberpunk & Anime linked favorites.

"Space Viking" by H Beam Piper
"Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen" by H Beam Piper
"The Cosmic Computer" by H Beam Piper
See a pattern there :lol:
These are the first SF books I actually purchased, out of my hard earned pocket money, in Ace Pocket editions (hard to come by in Oz at the time), way back in the late 1960's.
Had a great influence on me, and I re-read them regularly (though I've had to replace the originals ... read to death, doncha know ... over the years :wink: )
Perhaps not the greatest SF writer, nor the greatest SF, but it had a huge impact on me at the time, and still does.

Dune - Frank Herbert
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - Phillip K Dick
Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams (although the original radio series was better).
Of course, this may not include A Clockwork Orange, Brave New World and 1984, but then I am drifting so far into Paranoia territory, I'd better stop....
Oh, and I did like the Red Dwarf novel too, and The Algebraist wasn't bad....
