I'll think of some more. Isaac Asimov has many classic novels and short stores, but the list that I gave you should be a good start.
Awesome. I've actually read Sphere before, so I guess I've lied when I said I haven't read any (same for Bradbury). Thanks for the help - the big names are pretty much what I kinda need to know.

Man, I guess my definition of "Sci Fi" is much different than others. Maybe there's my gold on panel ...

Asimov's Foundation series is solid. I, Robot (not at all like the movie) is also a key one.
Robert Heinlein- either Stranger in a Strange Land or Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
Any of the Star Trek books by Peter David are well-known in the Trekkie-verse.
You can even count stuff like Wrinkle in Time, Clockwork Orange or Jurassic Park.
Scifi comedy? Terry Pratchett FTW- he's got a whole series of Douglas Adams-style books.
The Amber books by Roger Zelazny? Nowhere near the top of list in terms of fame, but solid for the first half of the series.
Vonnegut even does some fun scifi in books like Cat's Cradle *sigh*
Um, okay. Now I'm going to go back to being a normal functioning member of society.
