I found
The Saga of Seven Suns very entertaining and
Larry Niven's Ringworld is really great in a weird way
If it doesn't have to be actual space-type sci-fi, I can highly recommend (sp?)
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I listened (on audiobooks) my way through this amazing story (all seven books) twice in the last two years while doing my webmastering...
Damn how a workday goes by in no time, when you have a great book running in the headset
