Default OT: Read a book!

While we're patiently waiting for the PBW server to be recombobulated, I thought maybe we could exchange some thoughts on favorite authors/books to pass the time.

Some of my Favorites, in no particular order:

Asimov/Heinlein/Tolkein, of course, plus...

David Brin; Uplift series (Sundiver, Startide Rising, Uplift War, +new trilogy), Earth, Glory Season

Orson Scott Card; Seventh Son/Red Prophet etc (Alvin Maker series), Ender's Game/Speaker for the Dead etc (Ender series), The Worthing Saga

Stephen R. Donaldson; The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Unbeliever

Piers Anthony; Bio of a Space Tyrant series (halfway through this now)

Was thinking of starting Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books, anyone have opinions there?

EDIT: Subject line
