William Gibson's Sprawl Trilogy is great.

I started reading Dune but dropped it in favor of some other classic literature a while back. I keep meaning to get back to it. The world building is top notch and there is a lot of cool details and characters, but it's such a fucking descriptive wank fest in the first act that it takes some commitment.

Anything by Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn trilogy, Alloys of Law trilogy, etc).

Anything by Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files, Codex Alera, Cinder Spires).

I've been reading Brian McClellan's Powder Mage trilogy, it's pretty enjoyable.

James Corey's Expanse series is some of the best sci-fi being written currently.

Powder Mage seems interesting.

Read Reckoners and Mistborn by Sanderson, now reading Stormlight. It's good but is introducing way too many concepts imo.

Powder Mage is written by a student of Sanderson's, apparently.

It shows.

Anything Philip K Dick pre 1970. If just because he admitted that everything he wrote in that time period was most definitely written under the influence of drugs.

ASoIaF is great if you don't mind never seeing an ending

Dresden Files is good and stands a good chance of being complete someday

I'm definitely a series guy, so...

Sci Fi:
A Fire Upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky, both by Vernor Vinge
Heechee series, starting with Gateway by Frederik Pohl

EDIT: oh also, the Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a bit campy old sci fi but really entertaining just for the action-y bits. That movie John Carter was loosely based off of these, but pay no mind, that movie doesn't really represent the greatness of the books

Fantasy:
Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, starting with Lord Foul's Bane, by Stephen R Donaldson
Kingkiller Chronicles, starting with The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfusss

Asimov Robot trilogy.

The Caves of Steel
The Naked Sun
The Robots of Dawn

You can read I, Robot before that if you want but it's not really necessary. The novels take place far into the future of the stories in I, Robot.

PKD rules. I've read most of his short stories, and they're basically all good.

I can recommend anything by Isaac Asimov. There are collections of short stories, the Foundation trilogy, and many more things I haven't read.
