Check out Heinlein's Stranger In A Strange Land. Very philosophical, strange and trippy. I've always been surprised that no prog band (that I know of) has ever made a concept album based on this book; it seems like it would be a good fit.

No, if you're going into sci-fi, you have got to check out Alfred Bester.  His two best books are "The Stars My Destination", which is like a sci-fi Count of Monte Cristo, and "The Demolished Man", which is also fantastic.  Also, if you want maybe try some Orson Scott Card, like Ender's Game, though it's more drama than sci-fi it seems to me.
Links to musical projects coming soon!!!

I liked the  Dune books (first three).

 

Nice (easy) Sci-fi would be Asimov's books, but I liked richard Baxter also,
Ring left a great impression on me, despite it's simple storie, the believable science made it worth my while.

I just finished reading the Cain Mutiny.  I would like to read more Sci-fiction, in that genre I've read most of the Star Wars and all of the Dune books.  Not to mention Hitchikers guide to the Galaxy.  So I'm looking for a new sci-fi book.  Any Suggestions?
