Jim DiGriz rocks. 
Definitely check out Richard Morgan. There's a serious PKD/Ellison vibe in his work.

Sorry for such a late response
If you like "time enough for love" then also read "Number Of The Beast","The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress","The Cat Who Walks Through Walls","Too Sail Beyond The Sunset"
That is of course if you havent already. I would suggest reading the in that order since they are part of a bigger story line. "Time Enoguh For Love" fits in the middle after "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" save "Too Sail Beyond The Sunset"
as it is the last Heinlein book ever written & wraps up all of the stories.
I actually haven't read it yet I'm saving it until I've read all of his works.
Notice anythig particular 'bout our luck these past few days, any kind'a pattern'. You depend on luck you end up on the drift no fuel, no prospects, beggin for alliance make work getiin' towed off to the scrap out THAT AIN'T US NOT EVER

Whoo-hoo! Slippery Jim!
Yep, for me, Bradbury, (although I must confess, I prefer his horror to his SF) Philip K. Dick (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Roger Zelazny (Doorways in the Sand, Jack of Shadows) and Heinlein.
A little more contemporary...James P. Hogan.

Thanks! My dad has all the books (I think, he has at least three of them), and I haven't read them yet, so that's cool that I can do it in order.

You might like the author Felicity Savage. She wrote a two volume story "Humility Garden" and "Delta City". A lot of imagination in these books. It has gods and politics. You can't get a deadlier combination than that. Who's right who's wrong is hard to judge when everyone is so ruthless. But pity will get you killed and being a heretic is asking for a death sentence. I won't tell you more because I don't want to give anything away. Just beleave me when I say being blasted by a raygun would be perfered to to how some people end up in these books.
And what do we do with the chain of command?
