I don't know where to begin, but certainly his City is one of the best books ever written. Stop. No arguments accepted.
And Waystation, do not let me even begin to talk about it... it takes you to the heart.
... or Highway of eternity !!! One of the most wonderful and surreal descriptions of time travel I ever read ...

You don't know SF if you don't know Simak.

City was my all-time favorite for a long time, just edged out by Foundation Trilogy...but still right up there. It is one of the few books I've re-read multiple times.
