Read anything by Robert Heinlein or Frank Herbert.
If you're going to read some fantasy/sci-fi novels, at least read some classics. Make it a knowledgeable experience. Fahrenheit 451, 1984...some increasingly relevant books. Fahrenheit for example is only 200 something pages long and will only take a day or two to read...well worth the lifetime of enrichment.
Anything written by:
- Stephen R. Donaldson (SciFi) The Gap Cycle - (Fantasy) The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (10 books)
- Steven Erikson (Fantasy) - The Malazan Book of The Fallen is the best I have ever read (10 books released from 1999 till 2011).
- Ian M. Banks (SciFi) - also writes contemporary fiction as Ian Banks.
- Michael Moorcock (Satirical/SciFi/Fantasy) - Listen to Hawkwind while reading.
- Kurt Vonnegut Jr.(Surrealism/SciFi)
- David Brin (SciFi)
*edit* But wait, there's more (great writers I loved reading)...
- Robert A. Heinlein (SciFi) - Stranger in a Strange Land is my favourite, but he was prolific from 1949 - 1987. Love his sense of humour.
- Philip K. D i c k * (SciFi) - Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, are some of the movies based on his books.
- Larry Niven (SciFi) - The Mote In God's Eye and his Ringworld series.
- Peter F. Hamilton (SciFi) - The modern master of the space opera.

what are books ?
I can recommend the Dune series by Frank Herbert.
Dune was the books behind the movie and later the game by the same name.

Fulgrim, the warhammer 40k novel by Graham McNeill. That`s some good shiz when it comes to sci-fi reads. Hell, anything from the Horus Heresey is a great choice.
So far a lot of great suggestions. Also try E. E. Knights "Vampire Earth" series. It's a very interesting scifi take on the vampire mythos. Not at all like any vampires you'd expect.
+1 to *all* of a4nic8er's suggestions, fantastic choices there fella!
I'd also like to add Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge. It deals with the clash between a medieval society and a future-tech one so covers both your bases; it's a classic and one of my top 10.
The War Against the Chtorr series by David Gerrold. They are very "Defiancy".
