i have tons of favorite novels, but all in all im a short story kind of guy. i think SF is conducive to the short story form heres some great collections you should seek out. some are by a single author and others are various writers:
The Winds Twelve Quarters by Ursula leGuin
fragile things and Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman
Supertoys last All Summer Long and Neanderthal Planet by Brain W. Aldiss
Fireflood by Vonda McIntyre
A Good Old Fashioned Future by Bruce Sterling (check out the amazing story 'Taklamakan'
Into The Funhouse: science fiction stories about science fiction (check out the Eric Norden story)
The best Science Fiction of The Year #13 edited by terry carr.(high point: 'Hardfought' by greg Bear)
and Stories of Your Life by Ted Chiang; This one deserves special mention. i read this recently and was blown away. if you read none of these, read this one at least.
well thats all ican rmember. I have dozens of story collections. i omitted dangerous visions and its sequel because its very well known. but its one of my favorites too. Also the Orbit collections ed. by damon Knight
