Edgar Rice Burroughs, any series
Robert Heinlein, everything he has written in chronological order (but read Starship Troopers first)
Doc Smith's Lensman series
If those are taken:
Jack L. Chalker, any series
Piers Anthony's Bio of a Space Tyrant, or Battle Circle (Sos the Rope, Var the Stick, Neq the Sword)
Orson Scott Card's series starting with Ender's Game, or the Tales Of Alvin Maker
Larry Niven's Ringworld series
Nothing from Ray Bradbury. He annoys the shit out of me typically
Asimov is a typical Russian author. Very dry
