The Quantum Thief, Hannu (Accelerando meets Lupin; uncompromising SF, stuffed full of interesting tidbits - the game-theoretic prison at the beginning is only the beginning; self-recommending)
Catch-22, Heller (I reread it out of curiosity to see how it'd hold up after all these years. I still enjoyed it.)

Quibble: authors are Rajaniemi (Hannu is his forename, not his surname) and Heller (not Hellman).

I'll never be able to consistently spell 'Rajaniemi' without recourse to spaced repetition, so 'Hannu' it is.
