io9 lists the best science fiction novels for fantasy fans. I’m not familiar with any of these selections, but I’ll go ahead and recommend Jack Vance’s Tales of the Dying Earth, Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun, and Edgar Rice Burroughs’ A Princess of Mars.

There is no true science fiction list that does not prominently include Asimov. Period. I robot, the Foundation books, Asimov.Report
