I agree with others that this is a pretty common list, and if I were to try and stray away from what you might find commonly find on such lists, but are also worth reading: American Gods, The Forever War, Caves of Steel, The Stars My Destination, Snow Crash, The Thrawn trilogy (Star Wars, if you're into that), Wind-up Girl.

loved Snow Crash, so many great characters. i tried to read another one of Neal Stephenson's books Cryptonomicon, but it's such a different beast. way too hard to follow the story
