I'd like to add James White's "Sector General" series on here. They're a great read-- in a nutshell, you've got a giant space hospital with a staff of 60+ different kinds of aliens, all representing the best their worlds have to offer medically... but instead of doing medicine on their own species, they're all learning to operate on alien life forms. To top it off, the head doctors are all schizos, literally possessing the personalities and memories of multiple aliens.
Also, "Valis" by Philip K. Dick. That book absolutely rocks, and should be on everyone's reading list.
