Any SF from Poul Anderson. His novel, "Boat of a Million Years" is great. He is probably one of the best educated SF writers, and it shows in his books. He also has a strong Libertarian/Freedom themes in his work. Amazing imagination and he always know what he is talking about.
Also books by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournell are good. Douglas Adams books are very funny and well written. Larry Turtledove writes alternative history and is good as well. Issac Asimov and C.S. Lewis are also a sure fire, can't lose SF writers.
I've read a couple of Hienlien books and don't know what the big deal is all about. He has great concepts for stories but his style is very simplistic. Almost like books for young adults, IMHO. I do like his themes, I just don't enjoy his writting style.
