Soo...I'm sitting here craving some really good Sci-Fi stories after watching Firefly again. Basically, I'm just bored to death with fantasy in general, so I'm looking for some recommendations.

I'm not a very avid reader, I've finished maybe only 10-15 novels total in my lifetime, and I've never read a Sci-Fi novel before. Basically, I'm interested in distant(or near) future, as long as it contains advanced tech. The more space battles, the more advanced the tech(as long as it doesn't turn into a Science lecture), the better.

A friend let me borrow a few that I'm checking out now, starting with Ender's Game, but I'd like some more recommendations if anybody has any.
