Dear fellow readers, I've been rather bored as of late, and I'm trying to find some nice Science Fiction novels to read. Have you any recommendations? I would greatly appreciate it. :)

If you're interested in cyberpunk, Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash is a must.

Meh. I guess I shouldn't have mentioned the author's name. >>24
Yay, I'm not the only one who likes it.
Also, Gibsons's Neuromancer.

Check out anything by Dan Simmons, Iain M. Banks (make sure you look for the M.; he writes non-sci fi under Iain Banks), Charles Stross, and Alastair Reynolds. Amazing stuff.
Do you have the sequel? I haven't read it yet myself, I'm not sure if it's any good.

Yes, but I'm having trouble remembering whether I like it. I'm pretty sure there were some neat parts. I guess I'll have to reread it.

Okay, I reread them both. I think it's slightly more awesome than Singularity Sky in terms of plot and action, but if the mindfuck that was the Festival is what you liked most about the first book, don't hope to find the same sort of thing in the second, which is more human.
Oh come on, anon. You could do much worse than read Ender's Game (at least of you stay clear of most of the sequels).

Because the talented child who's better than all the stoooopid adults saves the world crap is soooo innnovative.

Who cares, it's still not a bad book, if you just want some entertainment. Like I said, you could do much worse.
I never said you couldn't do better, though.
