The books are rarely mentioned, for some reason... But this series is a must-read, esp. for sci-fi fans.

Definately agreed, and it's one of the few series where all seven books are good (5 regular +2 prequel). The ideas about predicting/manipulating the future mathematically are mind-boggling, yet not too far-fetched. Another one that hasn't been mentioned yet is Frank Herbert's Dune. The first book and the last two are absolutely amazing (the ones in the middle are mediocre at best). I also like LotR, Ender, Clancy, and Bradbury's short story collections.
