I was just curious, i have read a fair few books and wanted to know if anyone had any they would like to share with me? I need something new to pick up and read please...?

I have just finished a George Orwell and i love Douglas Adams and Juliet marillier so if anyone knows of any Authors like them, i am into sci-fi, political, fantasy, war etc.. could you share?

OH anything but a love story please, i really dislike romance (no offense to anyone).
