I've read (and loved) Cryptonomicon, Dune, Foundation, and 1984. I don't believe people haven't read Dune or Foundation.
I've started Gravity's Rainbow twice. I'm fascinated by it since it's also been called the greatest book on film ever written, but... eh. I own (in hardcover) Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell but haven't gotten to it.
I've never heard of First and Last Men and Starmaker by Olaf Stapledon, The Long Tomorrow by Leigh Brackett, or Dhalgren by Samuel Delany. I'll probably get to Infinite Jest only after I finish Gravity's Rainbow.
