There's a special going on at the Literary Guild Book Club online...buy two books, get one for 99 cents.
I already have two picked out: Life of Pi, and The Eight by Katherine Neville, both recommendations i've gotten from various book recommendation threads here on Hatrack.
What i'd like is a third, that may or may not compliment those two.
I'm interested in science fiction, and especially right now philosophy. Fantasy's always a winner.
What have you got?

I'm re-reading Jennifer Roberson's "Sword Dancer" series - but I'm not sure that'll be complimentary to your current interests - unless fantasy with philosophical/humorous debate re: the battle of the sexes - intrigues you.

Their selection frankly strikes me as less than stuning -- they don't seem to have science fiction or philosophy at all, if I'm reading their catalogue correctly, and their fantasy list is overwhelmingly Robert Jordan.
So, err, which of their twenty-odd fantasy books -haven't- you read? That might help with recommendations.

Why not join the Science Fiction Book Club instead? It's also cheap. . .and it has science fiction .

Anyway, as far as their fantasy selection goes, I've heard Across the Nightengale Floor is good, but never read it. Stranger in a Strange Land is a (science fiction, regardless of what the site things) classic, if you haven't read it, and ditto for The Princess Bride and The Hobbit (but not the science fiction bit).
The rest. . .ehh.

There are Eragon fans out there. I think some of them are even on this site.
Me, personally, I found it worse than about 80% of the stuff on fanfiction.net, with the added detraction that I had to pay for it.
