Read: Dune, Foundation, 1984, First & Last Men
Not read: Cryptonomicon, Gravity's Rainbow, Jonathan Strange, Dhalgren, Infinite Jest.
Not sure: Long Tomorrow (I have read a lot of Brackett, not certain)

I did read Dune but only after four or five attempts; be wary of any novel that has to include maps, a glossary and a who's who. Have not read any of the sequels. A friend of mine says he didn't have any trouble reading it, but he read it when it was a serial in Analog magazine so he had the advantage of reading the synopsis before each installment!
