I don't read the genre anymore, but I loved Asimov, Bradbury and Clarke. Dune was really powerful for me. Enjoyed Card's Ender series. I read a few of Heinlein when I was bit older and while they were okay, I wish I had read them when I was younger.

Le Guin's The Lathe of Heaven is the pick I think that the fewest people here might have read. It's good science fiction while being the best fictional book about daoism I've ever read.

"Lathe of Heaven" is amazing! I love the whole "dreams changing reality" thing. LeGuin, in general, is a fantastic writer.

The concept was great. The way she handled it was even better. Highly recommended.
