Frederick Pohl Heechee series.

Hyperion Cantos

Saberhagen's Berserkers, the first few books

Keep going on Vinge's zones of thought; well worth finishing

Dragonriders of Pern is escapist as hell

Dune: the Frank Herbert stuff, nothing his son wrote was good. In fact, I'd probably stop at God Emporer

Majipoor Chronicles.

Larry Niven: Ringworld series, Known Space and Kzinti Wars

David Brin's Uplift books

Steven Baxter Xeelee Sequence and his Long Earth series.
