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. :)

I don't remember how the book goes. I just know that if your faggotry was evident, I would remember it.

I had not read a lot of science fiction books, but I really enjoyed Clifford Saimak's novels.
I think When Gravity Fails might be good, although I haven't gotten ahold of it yet. And there's Charlie Stross, who's so far future and non-dystopian that he barely fits, but he's heavy on the cybernetics and worth reading. Read TRANSMETROPOLITAN if you haven't (even though it's not a book, exactly), and play Deus Ex.

Stross is good.
Check out Richard Morgan too, at least Altered Carbon has somewhat heavy cyberpunk influences (and is a fun read in general, imho), although the 2 sequels have much fewer of those.
But in the end, there really is not enough good cyberpunk...

I loved the ending. Even better than the end of >>53 (the book, not the post).
