I highly doubt there's anyone here who doesn't like at least some sci-fi other than FS2's. I'm trying to write some of my own (I currently have the universe basically done, I'm just doing all the various histories and explainations of technologies and tedious little details like that), but I've realized that my Sci-Fi reading isn't really what you'd call particularly broad, largely limited to Star Wars stuff, classic HG Wells and the odd random book I've picked up from a second hand bookstore or had given to me. That's not neccesarily a bad thing, since I want to make it vaguely starwarsy (at least to the extent that fighter combat plays a big role), but I'm looking to broaden my horizons a little, particularly with some of the slightly darker sci-fi. I know that reading within the field too much can lead to contamination, so I basically just want to sample a few of the subgenres outside what I typically read. I'll be aiming to get these from the local library rather than the bookstore, so stuff that's at least a year or two old would be preferred.
