Clockwork Orange is a fun easy read. Watchmen is a good graphic novel, as is Saga.

I love "Ficciones" (Fictions) by Jorge Luis Borges. It really blows your mind...

Tough question. Blood Meridian, but Invisible Man is a close second. If you enjoy Gatsbyesque books, you might like Rules of Civility. Since you said you like sci-fi and technology, the Foundation series is excellent.

The Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy. Best sci-fi fiction books I’ve read in a while!

There are too many good ones. It depends on what you're looking for. Do you want to be entertained or do you want fiction that'll emotionally upgrade and inspire you?

I think entertainment is the goal. I used to watch a lot of movies and there is a great feeling after watching an engaging narrative. Definitely does not have to be flowers and sunshine though!

The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. is a very entertaining, interesting, and funny read from Neal Stephenson. REAMDE is a similar feel also from him. I love many of his earlier more profound books, and hate some others, but these are just fun reading.
