Illium is by the same author as Hyperion, and mixes greek mythology with Sci Fi!
Altered Carbon is a great book, some nice concepts, but quite gritty in places. A slightly darker sci fi.
Enders game is the best Scott Card book (in my opinion....)

Hmm, gritty and dark sci-fi..sounds great!
I like this kind of sci-fi, like the current Battlestar Galactica TV series.
Ender's Game is great, but IMHO it's better if you read it as a young adult. I re-read it a couple of years ago and found it kinda silly sometimes. There's a new book in the series just released, Ender in Exile, I read half of it but found it boring, again, great for a teenager but not so engaging for a 35-yo who has been reading hard sci-fi for 20 years.
Anyway, just wanted to say this thread is great, lots of good recommendations here. I am a fan of hard and "grand" sci-fi (the more planets, species and centuries covered in a book, the better), so looks like it's time to go to fictionwise, BoB etc and see if I find Revelation Space or Hyperion. Keep the suggestions coming!
