Definately Dune. Frank Herbert was a great author. Just the first book, though. God Emperor of Dune was a close second. Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series was exceptionally well done, except for the second book (The Drawing of the Three), which I cannot reccomend in good concience, as it was so horrible that I could not finish it. Enders game. The Magick of Recluse (I can't recall who wrote it). The Para-faith war, by L.E. Modesitt Jr. Terry Goodkind's stuff. And etcetera. I am an avid science fiction reader. I have read a majority of the books listed here, and enjoyed most of them. I still need to read the last four books in the Hitchhiker's Trilogy.
