Can I weigh inwith a bit of Space Opera?
Give Alastair Reynolds a try. I used to be very much into Sci-Fi but kind of lost interest in my late teens. But a few months ago I suddenly got seized by a need to read some good old fashioned, proper Sci-Fi. And Alasiter Reynolds is the author that caught my eye.
In particular House of Suns or the Revelation Space series. Hard interplanetary Sci-Fi, with some big ideas but man he can write a ripping good yarn.
If space opera isn't your thing try Reynolds' Century Rain. Absolutely gripping, I found it hard to put down.
