I have read 13 of the books on the list that Clint mentioned.

I had begun to write about all the ones which I expected to be there but weren't and then realized I might as well make my own list. So here it is in alphabetical order not in any particular rank. Some entries are actually series.

• 2001: A Space Odyssey, Arthur C. Clarke (But the sequels get progressively worse.)

• Alice In Wonderland/Alice Through The Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll

• Baroque Cycle: Neal Stephenson

• Behold The Man: Michael Moorcock

• Breakfast of Champions, Kurt Vonnegut

• Dictionary Of The Khazars, Milorad Pavic

• Earthsea Trilogy: Ursula Le Guin

• Gloriana or The Unfullfill'd Queen, Michael Moorcock

• Gormenghast Trilogy, Mervyn Peake

• Gravity's Rainbow, Thomas Pynchon

• Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, Susanna Clarke

• Lord Of The Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien

• Naked Lunch, William S. Burroughs

• Ringworld, Larry Niven

• The Computer Connection, Alfred Bester

• The Dune Encyclopedia, Willis E. McNelly (The real backstory to Dune. Brian Herbert should be fed to Shai-Hulud.)

• The Futurological Congress, Stanislaw Lem

• The Island Of The Day Before: Umberto Eco

• The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, Robert Heinlein

• Ulysses, James Joyce

All pretty damn geeky I think if not stereotypically so.
