I recently read Little Fuzzy and Oomphel in the Sky by H Beam Piper and I was very impressed, especially considering the time period that they were written in.

David Webers Honor Harrington series is good, but it is very heavy military sci-fi, I found myself bored with many of the explainations of the military manuevers.

No one mentioned Anne McCaffrey, though she is somewhat more fantasy than Sci-Fi, you might have already read her though.

I would also recommend Frank Herberts Dune, if you have not read it yet.
