> _Stranger in a Strange Land_ by Robert A. Heinlein
A classic and SHOULD be read.

> _The Caves of Steel_ by Isaac Asimov
Weak for Asimov (I thought)

> _Helliconia Spring_ by Brian W. Aldiss
Don't know this one; worth trying!

> _The Mote In God's Eye_ by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle
Don't know, but Niven rarely impresses me.

> _Fear_ by L. Ron Hubbard
ARGGH! EVIL! (actually, I liked Battlefield Earth)

> _Lord of the Flies_ by William Golding
Must be read, and accompanied by much listening to U2's "Boy" album!

> _The Picture of Dorian Grey_ by Oscar Wilde
My vote goes here, however. Wilde kicks ass. This, being his most popular, is a great place to start. If you were to have a write in, I'd suggest Umberto Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum", Haruki Murakami's "Wind Up Bird Chronicle" or M. Gira's "The Consumer" (probably the most disturbing/disgusting book you'll ever read!).
