The Stars, Like Dust by Isaac Asimov
I realized that, while I've read tons of Asimov's short stories, I've yet to read any of his novels, and I found this one at the library. It's all about interstellar intrigue and rebellion against the ruling empire revolving around a couple of star-crossed lovers from the ruling families of different planets. Definitely a fun read. I love reading the old sci-fi classics (this was written in 1950) in large part because it's fun to see what they wrote about that actually exists now (in this book things like tazers, auto pilot, and GPS-like tracking devices) and speculate about how long it will take humans to develop the other things (like successfully visiting another planet or even a different solar system).
