I'm looking for a good science fiction book. A series would be cool too!

I don't really know what I want so I'm open to suggestions.

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King

Sword of Truth is really god
Sword of Shannara as well
Deverry cycle
anything by Ken Follet IMO
the Dirk Pitt books by Clive Cussler (sort of a science fiction/action)

Doesn't the BOLDED count as fantasy? imo there's a difference between sci fi and fantasy ;p

/ot I heard Elisabeth Moon made some good sci fi, never read em tho, but she got awesome fantasy books otherwise :p

Was going to post this.

The entire collection is too good for words. One of these days i'll get around to reading the whole thing again.

Anything by Michael Crichton

Timeline, Jurassic Park, The Lost World were good reads.
