Stephenson's Snow Crash is another great recommendation.

then Cryptonomicon as my one, two.

I like to read Ender's Game once a year or so.

Anathem was slower to me

Catch 22 is a fantastic read. I don't think I've read anything else where everything in the book is such a great illustration of its main theme. Plus, it's just plain entertaining.

Reamde was good.

Contact by Carl Sagan. I first read it as an adult and it took my breath away.
