Recommend so books please

Okay, so we have a make list of 20 books we would like to read, and we have to include reviews. I don't really know what to look for, but if you know any sci-fi/fantasy books besides Lord of the Rings and Orwell and can link to a review on Amazon that'd be nice. I already have some books but I need some help with the rest.

Enders game/shadow and the sequels.

I didn't like Ender's Game, but we only have to read 4 of these and I can fill up a lot of room with that so why not.

Revelation Space and its sequels
The Dread Empire's Fall series
Saga of the Seven Suns

They each vary in the degree of sci-fi ness if that's even a word, with the Saga having more of a fantasy streak than a hard sci-fi feel. I've linked to the first book in each series, but if you want the others, they're usually amongst the Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought listing

Read A Confederacy of Dunces. It's hillarious.

nik, I've read about half of that book. Maybe I just didn't get it, but I thought Ignatius was pretty annoying, so I was annoyed.

Rengori, my horror lit instructor taught a sci-fi class last semester, so I'd be happy to ask him for some suggestions. But for your list, can you pick any books you want or are you supposed to stick with certain genres?

Read Timeline by Michael Crichton. One of my favourite books of all time.
