(Too lazy to read all pages before posting >.>)
I dont read much.. so i havent really read any sci fi books. But i gotta say, theres one show that really makes me want to go fight large fleet battles after watching it, Battlestar Galactica. I just love that show, and tbh i think it was the reason i ended up getting in a dread at a little over 1 yr old >.>
Too bad the lil fleet fight fantasies get ruined when i fly in EVE and get smacked in the face by lag :(

These.
Hyperion - so good they named a ship after it 
Kurt Vonnegut is my favourite author ever, and although hes not strictly Sci-Fi he needs to be added to this list.
Also Childhood's End by AC Clarke.

My will to play Eve didn't came from a book at all.
I'm naturally interested in everything that is space related :)

I found some David Weber on a (apparently legal) website and it's pretty good.
Probably Baen Free Library, perfectly legal, and an alternate take on the piracy angle (read the introduction), and one hell of a tease! Half the authors mentioned here have books online at that place, and their idea is definitely working, at least in my case.
Have fun reading!

THE HEECHEE SAGA
Book One:GATEWAY
Book Two:BEYOND THE BLUE EVENT HORIZON
Book Three: HEECHEE RENDEZVOUS

This series is so close to what EVE is, in my option.
Asimov was my biggest influnce into Sci Fi.
Blade Runner my favortie movie.

I think it would be very difficult to make Neuromancer into a movie because a) the expectations, b) it would be impossible to stay 100% true to the book
Yes, but the rumour that they're trying to do it anyway resurfaces every few years. Last rumour was that they actually had some money for it, and it's due in 2009... (begin countdown to another epic fail  )

One of the reasons you wanted to play Eve Online? What were the authors you liked and do they influence how you play or roleplay?
For myself I have been an avid Science Fiction reader since grade school. Niven, Asimov, Herbert, Pournell, Gibson and Weber are some of my favoite authors. Im always looking for ingame refrences to sci-fi authors or items from novels.
I'm still searching the Galaxy for a Ringworld and Dahek.
What about CCP? Are there readers of Sci-fi there? If so how did it influence your design or development of the game?
Iain M Banks.

Pretty much all of Dave's earlier novels and collaborations have been released for free in various ebook formats (surf over to Baen Publishing and check out the online library!) as a means of drumming up more interest in various novels. Much better to offer the first book in a series to get you interested rather than a three page snippet at the back of another novel... As well, more enterprising people can find copies online of the CDs that were bound with all the latest Honor Harrington novels, featuring copies of EVERY Honor Harrington novel. And those are legit downloads too...
