As I do not as of yet know any of you, nor your tastes in this genre, I might as well list the author's that I hold close to my heart.
-David Brin (as evidenced by this post in the first place)
-David Gerrold (Star Trek TOS writer/War Against The Chtorr/and a few other interesting books)
-Terry Pratchett (Discworld series. The "little things" that this man thinks up and transfers to paper are quite outstanding to say the least)
-Anne Rice (Blurs the line of sci-fi/one of the most captivating and talented writers I have ever come across)
-Arthur C. Clarke (Rama series, that's all I have to say)
-Orson Scott Card (Ender series/the champion of the "demigod"<lol>)
-Ben Bova (Has always held an interest for me, since I read "Mars")
-Steve White (Eagle Against The Stars....<lol> Ok, so it's complete B-side sci-fi, but it's not without it's merit)
-Tolkien (I suppose THAT'S just a given)
-Various Star Trek and Star Wars novels tend to find their way into my personal library.
-I also love the Stargate Universe (For those of you who may share that interest)
-Michael Chrichton is certainly noteworthy.
Well, that's enough for now. I look forward to perhaps SOME degree of extrapolation, and/or expansion on the subject of "Science Fiction In General"
