The best Sci-fi/Fantasy book I have ever read (other than Tolkien) is:
Canticle for Leibowitz by: Walter Miller
This book is about a post apoctoypic world. Truely amazing once it gets going.

God! I cant believe someone actually liked that waste of ink and paper. I read that book in highschool and simply picking it up made my skin crawl. I thought it was possibly the most poorly written and devised science fiction novels I have ever read....
The Dune books are alright, Im currently on God Emperor of Dune, and it seems like Herbert is really stretching for ideas. Dune itself was a good book, but I wouldnt praise it too highly, but thats just my personal opinion. There was something about his writing style that bothered me...
I hate R.A. Salvatore myself. I've read a couple of his books (I honestly cant remember which ones, I so thouroughly hated his writing I was glad when I finished the books) and was either bored or aggravated. I just didnt like his writing at all...
I totally agree with high_jinx, read Neil Gaiman and Good Omens was one of my favourite books. Excellent author. Terry Pratchett is also fantastic.
