I am wondering could you recommend some science fiction for me to read? I love sf, but tried picking up a few books and did not like any of them, so I figured i must be reading the wrong authors. I noticed that you read a lot and thought I would seek your advise. :)

I am embarrassed but I do not know the difference. :) Could you recommend something from both genre? And I am afraid I do not remember which books I did not like. I remember reading a lot of sci fic in Russian and loving it, but never finding anything here. Although I must say I did not try as hard as I should have had. There was only one that I found that I really like, but that was very long time ago. It was by Mary Doria Russel (spelling?).
