Here is a decision tree for NPR's best scifi/fantasy books. I just started crossing these out with the phone's image editor when I finish one.

Cant recommend a Canticle for Lebowitz enough. It was writen by a WWII bomber and talks about a post apocalyptic United States and how a group of monks preserve the flame of knowledge under the guise of religion to protect knowledge. Extremly well written and reads like a modern scifi novel even though the author only ever wrote the one book. Seriously its one of those books i think everyone should read, extremely impactful and powerful.
