Dune <3
Will check some of the others out. Currently reading deaths end by cixin Liu which I think you have read.
LBSS:
i couldn't believe how good dune was. i'd tried and failed to start reading it several times and in retrospect have no idea why it didn't take. it rules.
remembrance of earth's past trilogy i enjoyed, although it's pretty sexist. but yeah holy shit cixin liu's imagination is on fire. extremely cool weapons and other tech in the later books.
if you're into spec fic, another brilliant one i read relatively recently is a canticle for liebowitz.

Agreed, dune is awesome. Found the new film surprisingly good if you haven't seen it, excited for the second.
Yeah I gather earths past trilogy has been called out quite a bit for its sexism.
Cool I'll check the recommendation out!
