What are your top 10 science fiction books?
I'm new to scifi books, and books in general. (only got into reading 3 years ago) I've read dune, the dispossessed , a fire upon the deep and the stars my destination. I'm currently reading the left hand of darkness . What should i read next? Suggest me some of your must-reads.

Ringworld + sequels
Rama + sequels
Both of those are good classics for a starting point
enjoyed ringworld, but struggled to re-read it recently. Feels really dated (which it is), but it and Rama are still the definitive BDO scifi!
I love big dumb object sci-fi but didn't realize it was a named genre until your comment. Thank you, you've opened up a big dumb world for me to explore.
Any recommendations? Didn't care for Bowl of Heaven
Frederik Pohl's Heechee Saga has some sweet BDO action. It's a little dated as the first book was written back in the seventies but it's not awful.
Shit, I think I want to write a BDO novelette now. This is all seriously a revelation. I haven't been this excited in years!
That's great news! Tag me, I wanna read the sorry.
Have you ever read Marrow? It's about a spaceship the size of Jupiter, with countless planet sized voids used for habitation...
Enjoyed the premise, but the ensigns were rushed, very much "and then something happened and they were all ok"
