Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick: Read this one in a day and found it was the novel the film ‘Blade Runner’ was based on. Explored more deeply than the film about the human trait of empathy and really goves a new perspective to android related fiction (caught A.I. on TV after I read this and the similatites in theme were quite startiling).
Starting on the four novel 'Hyperion Cantos' now.

Funny that you should mention the Hyperion Cantos. I just finished Book 2, The Fall of Hyperion, yesterday. Good book, but I liked Hyperion better.
