Help me make a Sci-Fi reading list

[Agent 333]

Hey guys, I'm doing an ongoing projects to read all the classics of the Science Fiction Genre, and I need your help to form a reading list that covers the bases. So far, I've read:

Asimov:
 - I, Robot
 - Caves of Steel/Naked Sun/Robots of Dawn
 - The Foundation/Foundation and Empire/Second Foundation
 - Bicentennial Man
 - A good chunk of short stories

Crichton:
 - Jurassic Park / The Lost World
 - Timeline
 - Sphere
 - Prey

Clark:
 - 2001/2010/2061/3001

Bradbury:
 - Fahrenheit 451
 - I got halfway through The Martian Chronicles before I decided I hated Ray Bradbury and could not read another word he wrote.

Assorted Other:
 - Ender's Game
 - Starship Troopers
 - Ringworld
 - Lots of short stories here and there

Already on my "To Read" list:
 - Dune
 - Neuromancer
 - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (and probably some other Verne stuff)
 - The Time Machine (HG Wells's classic, of course)

Is there anything major that I'm missing? I'm looking for books that have shaped the genre, things that people are still going to read 100 years from now as the origins of Science Fiction as we know it. I had already read most of the Asimov stuff before I decided I'd go on this literary journey, hence the reason for so much of it. Now I'd prefer to do a breadth-first-search, read single books from series rather than, say, delving into a seven book series.

Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is good.  You should also look up David Drake and Joe Haldman, authors of the "Hammer's Slammers" short stories and The Forever War respectively.

"Stainless Steel Rat" Harry Harrison
"Virtual Light", "Neuromancer" by William Gibson
"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K. Dick

I'd also add Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.  In general, this would be a good place to start for ideas:http://graphjam.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/scifi_and_fantasy_book_guide.jpg.

Hmm, thanks for the link. Should I be sad at how many of those books I've read, or proud?

As much as i despise hubbard as a person. I really liked Battlefield Earth and rank it very high on my list of best sci fi stories.

Also I really enjoyed a Golden Dream and the Fuzzy Odyssey books.

Proud. Definitely proud.

Not just Niven's Ringworld, but the various Known Space works, and to a lesser degree the State and
Doc Smith Lensmen series, it's old but good as long as you accept that it's from the thirties and take the prose and such in strice.
Walter John William's Hardwired, seminal cyberpunk.
Stephanson's Snow Crash and Diamond Age.
Chalker's Wellworld series.
Dick's collected short stories, so you know how bad most of the movies based on them are.
Laumer's Reteif and Bolo stories, two fisted diplomacy and continental seige tanks.
Cordwainer Smith
Leigh Brackett's Stark novels, pulp planetary romance with a black protagonist (despite the covers depicting him as white until Paizo's recent releases).

"Stainless Steel Rat" Harry Harrison

It amazes me that has not yet been made into a film or even a TV series

Dragonflight by Anne McCaffery
Doctor Who and the Daleks by Malcolm Hulke.

[Moebius]

Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series - which is soon to be a Disney film (so hurry!).

"Stainless Steel Rat" Harry Harrison

Agreed.
