Shout out

To all my amazingly smart and well read f-list

The Shiny boi is looking to expand his sci-fi reading. So any suggestions for good science fiction books to read would be most appreciated.
 Fantasy books would be appreciated too. Classic "must reads" are at the top of his list of books to start with and I know all you people out there in lj land have some fairly extensive book lists and some excellent taste.

So list me kiddos ...
