-Louis McMaster Bujold's "Vorkosiga" series. They are excellent books with the worst being merely very good and the best being truely glorious reads. I personally would read "The Warriors Apprentice" and work forward from there, going back and reading the two earlier books after reading at least to Brothers In Arms. But I'm guessing they will work at least as well if read in chronological order.
-Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, but start at either "Wyrd Sisters" or "Guards! Guards!" as in the earlier books he is still finding his style.
-Spider Robinson. Specifically "Callahans Crosstime Saloon" (and onwards but the quality is all over the map as they go on, peaking again at "Callahan's Key")
-Neal Stephenson. Pretty much anything, I particularly like "Snow Crash" & "Cryptonomicon"(this is ~1150pages, as a warning). Many people liked "Diamond Age", I thought it was good but not amazing. I couldn't get into his Baroque Cycle at all.
-William Gibson. In paticular "Neourmancer" & "The Difference Engine"

that's off the top of my head.
