The best Sci Fi series I read in the 90s was by David Brin.

Sundiver
Startide Rising
The Uplift War
Brightness Reef
Infinity's Shore
Heaven's Reach

Those six go togehter. He's also written some other awesome stuff too.

Wasn't he the guy who wrote the Tao Te Ching? Or was that Lau Tzu? Somehow "the art of war" doesnt seem to fit in well with Tao.

Now that I think about it, I think it was Lau Tzu. Oh well- I just like to hear myself talk.

SO many great ones already on this thread. I have to agree with:

LOTR - Tolkien
Hyperion- Dan Simmons (also nuts about his Phases of Gravity)
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card

Other all-time favorites:
Neuromancer - William Gibson
Contact - Carl Sagan
The Prince of Tides - Pat Conroy
Ringworld - Larry Niven
