Read this, faggot. And if you want non-fantasy recommends, don't make GRR Martin threads like an asshat.

Read this instead.
Thank me later.

100% pure awesome right here.
Sci-Fi/Mythology blend with some great fucking characters.
Best book you haven't read.

Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy you've never read. Just under 300 pages. You'll wish it was 1200 pages.
Tricky. Brilliant. Dangerous.

OP, here's a favorite book of Gaiman's and honestly a likely inspiration for his own American Gods.
And a fucking masterpiece in it's own right.
see: bottom of cover.

Simply the finest Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel you haven't read.

>>Neil Gaiman
I fucking wish!
The movie I would remake if I had 200 Million dollars?
Midway.
Also, you're kidding yourself OP. The mega-success of the Transformers franchise means you're probably more likely to see Skyline II than Forever War. Kids don't need a story any more, just 3D 'splosions.

If you want a mix of Fantasy and Sci-Fi that will blow your mind with awesomess, give this a try.

His Nine Princes in Amber series is also good, though I didn't care as much for the follow-up series.

6th reading, still can't stop til' I finish it.
Best Science Fiction you've never read.

OP should just read this instead, it was the book Gaiman wished he was writing when he made American Gods.
