I've been getting through more and more sci-fi books and would love recommendations on the books you've all enjoyed.

For myself I thought the Xeelee series was brilliant. Taking us from the dawn of time through to the end of the universe and around again. Fighting aliens from other dimensions and the creators of the universe themselves.

I'm back with a couple more!

The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. It's about a war fought in distant star systems where the travel to and from engagements at relativistic speeds causes the soldiers to sometimes arrive with hopelessly outdated intel and technology, or other times to massively outclass their enemy, but always to return home to societies that are completely alien to them.

The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold. Time travel shenanigans. I like to call it "The Man Who Fucked Himself".
