I liked a lot of these, but none of them are the ones I read and re-read and re-read.
Related ones that I did madly love and would happily re-read: The Integral Trees by Larry Niven Old Man's War by John Scalzi All of Theodore Sturgeons short stories ever Pattern Recognition by William Gibson The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle The whole Discworld Nightwatch tract by Terry Pratchett Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice Steel Beach by John Varley Excession by Iain M. Banks The Neutronium Alchemist by Peter Hamilton ... that's a few at any rate. :)
But no Stanislaw Lem's books: solaris, futurological congress... or Stalker from arkadi and boris strugatski or robert holdstock mythago wood or aldous huxley: brave new world (which is probably too old for list). I am sure that C.S. Lewis had some of the Narnia books written in 50s that should fit before potters and shannaras. One could even argue that there should be place for dragonlance series of weis and hickman.
Tons of good books in list though, just few weird ones and some I have never heard of, which I suppose should read.
