I've been in the mood for space opera lately. And I have some in mind that I'm planning on reading. Just for grins, and because in spite of my best efforts I can't read everything, I thought I would see what some of you think are the essential works of space opera. So, what do you think are the essential works of space opera that every well-read fan should be familiar with?

I reviewed the initial novel in this series, vN, last year and was quite impressed by it. It held my interest when I wasn't able to read it for days at a time. As a result, I was looking forward to the sequel.
Unfortunately (for me, at least), the sequel didn't live up to its predecessor. Part of that is because the viewpoint character in this one is Javier rather than Amy. Javier doesn't interest me as much as Amy and her grandmother Portia do. Portia isn't dead, BTW.
