Three Body Problem. I've heard of it many times, but never read it. Picked it up a month or two ago, read the whole thing in a few sessions, one of my favourite sci-fi books ever.

His first collection (Stories of Your Life and Others) was my favourite

his more recent one (Exhalation) was also very good

The first few chapters are interesting, and do a good job of explaining the world-view of the author. Worth buying just for this. However, the last half or two-thirds of the book is a tedious re-hashing of the same ideas through various examples.

The Crying of Lot 49 is one of my favourite books.
