A Complete Grammar of Esperanto
by Ivy Kellerman
Ĝi estas bona libro por komencantoj! Mi tre ŝatis trastudi ĝin. Mi ankaŭ ofte uzas ĉi tiu malnova sed utila libron.
One problem: each chapter ends with sentences to be translated from English to Esperanto but the book does not contain the correct translations by which your efforts can be checked. This makes it difficult to know if you've made a correct translation. Also, the 1910 publishing date means that it somewhat lacks connection to the modern world. (i.e., no mention of radio, airplanes or television, to say nothing of cell phones, computers, etc.) Still, for addressing all grammatical aspects in a systematic way, it can't be beat. Maybe it's actually helpful to go back to a simpler time when learning.
The Skylark of Space
by E. E. ''Doc'' Smith
The skylark series has always been one of my favorites. The technology is pie in the sky but very fun read. Get all four in the series if you can.
Triplanetary
by E. E. ''Doc'' Smith
I agree with the above get all the "doc" smith you can. The absolute foundation of space opera
