I mainly read Science Fiction, and these are some of the best I have read.
Red Mars
By Kim Stanley Robinson
Three books, Red Mars, Blue Mars, and Green Mars. This trilogy explores the colonization of Mars, from first touchdown to terraforming. It focuses a lot on the political side of the society including terraforming, refugees from earth, and earth-mars relations in general. A very good series, but I believe there are better ones.
Ringworld
By Larry Niven
The main series includes Ringworld, The Ringworld Engineers, and The Ringworld Throne. Unlike most series’s, these books just get better and better. The books revolve around a Dyson sphere like object that has technologically regressed as it’s creators disappeared. This creates an interesting dynamic with the primitive beings on the world coexisting with unimaginable technologies.
Larry Niven has also written many other books set in the same universe, most notably The Integral Trees, and another series has sprung off after Ringworld (which I have not read as of now).
Rama
By Arthur C. Clark
Probably my favorite series, it has four books, Rendezvous with Rama, Return to Rama, Garden of Rama, and Rama Reviled. The first book is by far the best, but it is more of a prequel while the last three seem like a trilogy. This series deals with human’s first contact with alien technology. Saying any more could spoil much of the plot of the later books. The first book has the best last sentence that I have ever read, and it still sends chills through my heart.
