I've read Cryptonomicon. Good book especially if you're a hacker or into cryptography.

I read 1984 in highschool Thought it was pretty good.

I've been on page 64 of Dune for...oh...over 25 years now. BOOORING! Sorry.
The movies sucked too. IMHO, of course.

Foundation, I've tried to start a few times, but while I like Asimov's short stories and non-fiction essays, I've always had problems with his novels. If I can score a Foundation audiobook, I might try it again.

I haven't read any of the others, and except for Gravity's Rainbow, I don't think I'd even heard of them.
