I tend to follow the same pattern of reading as you do - I was
fortunate that my roommate in college was an avid (extremely) reader.
His collection by the time I graduated was over 1500 softbacks.  I felt
like I was living in a library (imagine the paper dust!)

My all-time favorite author is Roger Zelazny.  He deals with rather
soft SF, being into reality-alteration trips (don't mind me).  His
best books include:	Doorways in the Sand
	       and	Lord of Light.
I think he's got somewhere around 25 books out - all are good, some
are great.

Since I left college, I discover I don't know what to buy (although
a good cover will often sang me), and so I'll be glad to see responses
to your querey posted.

P.S.	One good way of getting author's names is to read the mags -
	Analog and Asimov are the leaders (ignore Omni) and are
	always worth buying.
