Just some of my favourites:
The Forever War - Joe Haldeman: Basically the vastly better Starship Troopers. Just don't read the sequel.
Old Man's War - John Scalzi: Very much feels like an modern update of The Forever War
Cities in Flight - James Blish: I just love the bonker's idea of whole cities declaring their independence from Earth and just buggering off into space
Ubik - Philip K. Dick: Hard to pick a favourite Dick, but this one just has all the mindfuckery and weirdness of that particular author in a perfect blend
Agreed with the first two, and I'm adding the second two to my list :D
