I'm new to scifi books, and books in general. (only got into reading 3 years ago) I've read dune, the dispossessed , a fire upon the deep and the stars my destination. I'm currently reading the left hand of darkness . What should i read next? Suggest me some of your must-reads.

10 is hard to go off the top of my head, but, in semi-random

The expanse: loved it so much we have our son the middle name Holden

Dune: always a classic for a reason

Children of Time: find myself dwelling on this

Honor Harrington: the best military sci-fi

Forever War: made me think

Hitchhiker's Guide: always makes me laugh (also like Darkside of the sun, but not listing both)

Hyperion: definitive space opera

The matian: definitive hard scifi

The culture: like the federation in star trek, but better.

Children of time needs more hype. Probably the best science fiction to come out in recent times.

We're going on an adventure!

I didn't think the second book could be on par with the first but it was also fantastic.
