Adams, Assimov, Vonnegut, and Bradbury.
I've read all of the HHGTTG, but very little of anyone else's works

Saint John the Devine

His journey to the stars sold more copies than all of Arthur C. Clarke's books combined but he never once received a Hugo.

Chapter 12 was awesome!

> what would you reccomend from Adams?

of course all 6 books of his trilogy "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

And his non-fiction book "Last Chance to See" (with Mark Carwardine) is great as well.

if so what do you think of it?

I'd actually recommend the first three books, but the first book ("The Hitchhiker's Guide") is the most important (and thematic) one.

1. The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
2. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
3. Life, the Universe and Everything

And NA is right about the first three, it's just so nice to write 'trilogy of 6 books':-)

Lately i've read some of R.Silverberg's Majipoor chronicles and Jack Vance Alastor trilogy.

but those are more fantasy books then sci-fi...

Now some of his work was barely readable or worse, but I really enjoyed L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth. I spent a weekend and a couple of nights after work reading the 1064 pages or whatever. There were some parts where I felt that I was Johnny Goodboy Tyler, and the rest of the book that I was just there with him.
The movie left way too much out.

Arthur C. Clark, Frank Herbert, Asimov, among others.

The worst has got to be that looney Lafayette Hubbard.
