For someone who doesn't really read SF, I've read an awful lot of these. So there are some I wouldn't call SF, but never mind.

Bolded the ones I've read, struck out the ones I hated/didn't finish..

Ubik, Philip K. Dick
Ender’s Game, Orson Scott Card
The Lord of the Rings trilogy [sic], J.R.R. Tolkien
The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood - somehow, no, despite being a big fan.
Dhalgren, Samuel R. Delany
A Song of Ice and Fire, George R.R. Martin - but the whole series is sitting on my floor waiting for me to find the time.
Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
The Gormenghast series, Mervyn Peake

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, Robert A. Heinlein
Kindred, Octavia Butler
