classic science fiction

I’ve read the classics (Clarke, Asimov, etc) . And I recently finished Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Mars Trilogy” and thought it rocked. Military and Space Opera Sci-fi can be good, but I’m looking for novels with more depth. And I’ve always been fascinated by Mars.
Ray Bradbury IS my favorite writer period. And “There will come soft rains” is great. But I think of him as more of a fantasy writer. And I heard “enders game” has a really simplistic writing style. I’m big on description.
