I have Saturn by Ben Bova, I haven't gotten around to reading it yet because I've been busy with other stuff. Right now I've started reading Imajica by Clive Barker but I haven't gotten far enough into it to form an opinion about it yet.
Let's see, here's some recent books I've read:
Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein - one of the the original "space marines fighting alien bugs" books and it has a lot of philosophical points that are still relevant today. A must read.
City of Embers by Jeanne DuPrau - it's more for kids really, but I really enjoyed the setting [a underground city] and the characters were pretty good.
Wizard of Earthsea and Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K Le Guin - Fantasy classics. I decided to get them after watching the Scifi Channel miniseries [I'd read them before though] and they are 100X better than that steaming pull of poo Scifi dumped on us.
