Re: Epic SciFi
One slight disagreement here-- if you're going to read Hamilton, start with Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained, which set the scene for the Void trilogy.
And when you're done with those, you should also check out his Night's Dawn trilogy, which is also epic stuff full of lots of neat ideas. IMHO, the neatest one is asking, "So suppose risen hordes of undead actually *do* conquer the world-- what do they do with it next?"
