Kurt Vonnegut is really great, my personal favorite is Sirens of Titan which is his most "sci-fi" of the bunch but I wouldn't really call it sci-fi. Other great starting points are Cat's Cradle, Mothernight, and of course Slaughterhouse Five.

I've only read one Toni Morrison book, Song of Solomon, but that was one of my favorite reads of this year.

If you haven't read Frankenstein or Dracula then I would highly recommend them. I personally enjoyed Frankenstein much more than I thought I would.

Norse Mythology and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman are also fun reads.

If you want some non-fiction, Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer is a very engaging read.
