I sometimes read SF books although it usually takes me a long time to finish as I'm mostly a serious guy ;) My record is probably something around two years.. I'm far from being in a position to give any advice but I like what I've read from Greg Bear[1], Greg Egan[2], Charles Stross[3] and Vernor Vinge[4].
