Some obvious ones first:

Crying of Lot 49
Foucault's Penduluum
Libra
Illuminatus Trilogy (lol)

Maybe actually that last one shouldn't be included, on the same grounds as "The Da Vinci Code" ie: suckitude.

oh fuck off illuminatus trilogy is lots of fun.

I just looked at it (didn't actually reread, just skimmed a few pages) over the weekend and wondered what my 13 y.o. self was so charmed by.
