As a massive Heinlein fan I’ll say Starship Troopers because I think that’s a fascinating discussion about what you owe your country or the price of citizenship. Since Heinlein is my favorite author I’ll pick another one as well.. A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick. I know he had drug issues and this book is an interesting look at the cycle of drugs and addiction and the ending was tragic but also very realistic. I like that the movie included his tribute at the end.

"A Mission of Gravity" - Hal Clement.
A hard sci-fi novel from the 50's. A story told from the perspective of an alien and his crew tasked by humans to collect an item from an area of their planet inaccessible to them. The physics, the chemistry, and the biology are all well considered, as the author was an astrophysicist/chemist, however the presentation is not dry at all.
