I'm on to Consider Phlebas by Iain Banks.
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera.

Anyway I am looking for something good... I have been thinking on reading the Chronicles of Elantra
I really like the Elantra books and would definitely recommend them.
Right now I'm reading Among Others by Jo Walton. It's a very different read, and I like it a lot so far.
EBR was sent a copy of that as well--looked interesting. I was gonna read it, but then I remembered I had new Erikson, Esslemont, Matheson, Correia and Barclay to read...I wish it had actually been a tough decision, but it wasn't.

I loved that novel. Once you finish book 6 you should read the first 2 Esslemont novels. You should also read the collection of three novellas that Erikson wrote about the necromancers. Pure comic gold.
