@ komotar - what about Aldous Huxley and HG Wells for pioneering SF authors. Iain Banks is supposed to be good as well. SF is not my thing, but my best mate is well into it.

@gucom and Tom - Funny you mention Dan Brown - I went on a business trip recently (UK) and bought a couple of Dan Brown books, Deception Point and Angels and Demons. I intended to get TDVC but could only find a hardback version. Anyway, I started reading A&D and I couldnt get into it at all. Maybe I was a bit too tired on the journey.
