Since you specifically said "novella," I'm going to recommend Ayn Rand's Anthem.

I don't know who wrote it, but I read a short story sci fi in my LSU science fiction English class... It was called "Cold Equation". Find it online and read it while you decide on what novel to read.
quote:in 1955 the great radio series X Minus 1 produced an adaptation of the story, which you can listen to here
"The Cold Equations" is a science fiction short story by Tom Godwin, first published in Astounding Magazine in 1954. In 1970, the Science Fiction Writers of America selected it as one of the best science-fiction short stories published before 1965, and it was therefore included in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929–1964.

The Foundation Trilogy, 1984, the Dark Tower Series and Ender's Game have to be on your list of must read sci-fi novels.

A novella is a work of written, fictional, narrative prose normally longer than a short story but shorter than a novel.

Not really scifi, but the made up genre anyway - the Zombie Fallout series by Mark Tufo is unbeatable, as is his Lycan Fallout. His Indian Hill series is scifi and is awesome, too.

The Space Trilogy by Lewis is a great choice.
