  7. Forgive me for being lazy, but I just clipped my answer from the last time I answered this question.  Next time give us some clues as to what type you're looking for or what authors you already like and I'll see what my brain churns out then.

    The Moon is A Harsh Mistress by R. A. Heinlein. Heinlein at his best, this is the tale of a moon colony revolt. Adventure fiction coupled with political theory as only the master can do, that is without boring you to tears.

    Snow Crash by Neal Stephensen. Cyberpunk based, the usual lowlife hackers, petty criminals, and bike messengers. New ideas, great writing, the type of sci-fi that makes you say "Why is so much sci-fi, not like this?"

    Iron Dream by Norman Spinrad. Largely forgotten these days, this "new wave" author has produced one of the oddest classics in the genre. Ask yourself "What if Hitler had gone with writing sci-fi instead of being a genocidal dictator? This book is the answer.

    Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen by H. Beam Piper. These days there are hundreds of alternate world books out there. Why not try one of the silver age classics instead? Odds are you'll find yourself hunting down this master's entire bibliography before you're done. If you like Jerry Pournelle, why not read Piper and find out where the guy cribbed his style from?

    The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin. Anything that has disturbed over two generations of sci-fi fans as much as this book is worth reading, merely as a bench mark to make 90% of sci-fi seem like the Tom Swift series.

  8. Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
