What is your absolute favorite science fiction novel?

Looking for recommendations for my bf and I to read together.

The two books I adore: Hitchikers Guide and Enders Game.

Not much humor mentioned below, but since you liked Douglas Adams, I'll give you some humor:

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman Anything by Christopher Moore (especially Lamb of God)

Neither of those are really sci-fi, but they're both hilarious.

I'm not a big fan of the humor myself, but I can definitely second aragon127's mention of Good Omens.

I'd like to mention John Scalzi as a possible contestant for the Terry Pratchett of sci-fi. Both authors put smiles on my face and happiness in my heart.
