David Brin, Ursula LeGuin, Poul Anderson, Larry Niven, Michael Swanwick, Janet Kagan, Nancy Kress, Cordwainer Smith, Frederic Pohl, H. Beam Piper...

Every edition of The Year's Best Science Fiction, Gardner Dozois, editor - and treat yourself to a subscription to Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction magazine, too.

Non-SF? I've been reading a lot of mysteries, which is a new habit: the 'Marcus Didius Falco' series by Lindsey Davis, Caleb Carr's The Alienist and Angel of Darkness, and Tony Hillerman's "Navajo Tribal Police" series. Non-mystery fiction: The Shipping News by E. Annie Proulx is highly recommended. Just finished Blue Highways by William Least Heat Moon.

I've also read three biographies of John Adams and one of Thomas Jefferson... This is just off the top of my head - ask again when you run out! :-D

Enjoy!
