The best SF ever

[Lucifer Box]

Seeing as no one has yet, I'll mention Philip Jose Farmer. Riverworld goes without saying, but everytime I read the short story "JC on the Dude Ranch" I think of Chico for some reason.

Stranger in a Strange Land
Ringworld
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
The Time Machine
Childhood's End
The Reality Dysfunction
From a Dark Background
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Eon
1984

The Reality Dysfunction? Are you insane? That trilogy ruined my life. Do not ever read. 3600 pages to so limply finish what was so brilliantly started. DO NOT READ!

My list:

Way out in first:
Eon - Greg Bear

The next best:
Excession - Banksy
Revelation Space - Alastair Reynolds
Paradox/Context/Resolution - John Meaney
