The Martian Chronicles if you havent already.
I really have to ensist on the Dune sequels too. The second was mostly filler but the 3rd and 4th are worth it, especially if you can wrap your head around Herbert's otherworldly metaphors.

And it its more fantasy than sci fi, but The Kingkiller Chronicles series is really impressive.

i've only read 3 of his books Caryatids, Distraction and one other.
