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.

Eric Flint (rip) wrote the 1632 series but David Weber co-wrote two of the novels 1633 and 1634. Haven't gotten around to reading 1632 though I have a few of the books.
If you want a shorter series that gives you a taste of Weber's writing I would suggest the Dahak trilogy. It starts out with the discovery of our moon being one huge, ancient spaceship that brought humans to earth 10,000 years ago and scales up into a full blown galactic war. Sadly the books end before the real alien ass kicking begins but the series is enjoyable enough that I have read it 10+ times.
There is also the Honor Harrington series by Weber, also on my To Read list, which has 15 main books so far (and like 37 in total). The publisher Baen sometimes gives away the first book in a series via a free ebook so its possible to pick it up for nothing.
