So it struck me the other day that I've never exactly read a lot of sci-fi of the space opera variety. By which I mean, the only thing I can think of reading in that category in the past ten years is Darkover and the S.M. Stirling Mars and Venus books (which is of the old-school Edgar Rice Burroughs flavor). I watch a lot of sci-fi on film (Star Wars, Stargate SG-1 and SGA, BSG, Farscape, Space: Above and Beyond), but I've never really read much. So, if I wanted to read some sci-fi of that variety, what do y'all recommend? I enjoy ladies, ass-kicking, snark, the military, and third-person POV, though I'm willing to let that last slide in rare situations.
