There are many great SF reads out there.

Here is my list of three (and all are free)
1) Blindsight by Peter Watts - (feedbooks.com)
2) Inherit the Stars - by J.P. Hogan (baen.com)
3) Deathworld - Harry Harrison (feedbooks.com)

Why Blindsight? Good story, good character description of the main persona via flashbacks, it deals with the question of what it means to be human and the alien in the story is truely alien. (and I don't mean green with 5 eyes).

Why Inherit the stars? Good story, a mystery is being unraveld. I like his writings style.

Why Deathworld? SciFi pulp of a long lost golden era. And makes for a good uncomplicatied reading.
