 Please recommend sci-fi and horror here.
These two genres I'm beginning to delve into as of the past year or so. I'd love to hear your recommendations for both.

Philip K. Dick-Ubik; A Scanner Darkly
Frank Herbert-Dune

All the above are SF. Check if you local library has any anthologies of 40's & 50's pulp SF, there's alot of good short stories to be found there.

It's not traditional science fiction, but Battle Royale is a kickass book.
