I saw this list on Julie's blog and it has confirmed my worse suspicions, I'm a geek... LOL! I have read almost all of these books. I've highlighted the one's I've read in blue.
the Guardian had a post on the Top 20 Geek Novels (Found via Slashdot.)
1. The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- Douglas Adams
2. Nineteen Eighty-Four -- George Orwell
3. Brave New World -- Aldous Huxley
4. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? -- Philip Dick
5. Neuromancer -- William Gibson
6. Dune -- Frank Herbert
7. I, Robot -- Isaac Asimov
8. Foundation -- Isaac Asimov (Read the entire series)
9. The Colour of Magic -- Terry Pratchett (I've read all of his books!)
10. Microserfs -- Douglas Coupland
11. Snow Crash -- Neal Stephenson
12. Watchmen -- Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons
13. Cryptonomicon -- Neal Stephenson
14. Consider Phlebas -- Iain M Banks
15. Stranger in a Strange Land -- Robert Heinlein
16. The Man in the High Castle -- Philip K Dick
17. American Gods -- Neil Gaiman
18. The Diamond Age -- Neal Stephenson
19. The Illuminatus! Trilogy -- Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson
20. Trouble with Lichen - John Wyndham
The saddest part of all this is that I fully intend to go out and read the books on this list that I haven't read yet because if my fellow geeks recommend them, I must follow the pack *smile*

I guess I'm a geek, too, then, because I've read a lot of them!
