I'm not a big fan of scifi, but I've been reading some to explore the genre. John Wyndham's books (Day of the Triffids, The Chrysalids, The Midwich Cuckoos, etc.) are fun, as is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I particularly like scifi that explores sociological issues, Ursula Le Guin's books or The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card, The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven are recent reads that I enjoyed.
