Definatly pick up Dune.
Starship Troopers is great, and also try "The Forever War" by joe haldeman, its even better.
If you like Card, try out the Homecoming series, i just finished the thrid book and really like it.
SnowCrash by Neal Stephenson is great also.
Michael Crichton is a great author, and his books are WAY better than the movies.
Pretty much anything by Clarke is worth a read, Childhood's End is good, along with Fountains of Paradise.
My general guide is to just find a site that lists hugo and Nebula Award winners, read the excerpt on amazon.com, and buy it used if its interesting. Great way to find books in my opinion.
Edit: And if your man enough, don't be afraid to pick up the Harry Potter books;they happen to be great books
