* If you've already read Cryptonomicon (see more here: http://jseliger.com/2006/11/29/cryptonomicon ), you're going in the right direction, but you should skip the Baroque cycle and Anathem.
* David Leavitt's The Indian Clerk deals extensively with math (http://jseliger.wordpress.com/2007/12/14/the-indian-clerk).
* Joel Spolsky's The Best Software Writing isn't fiction but is worth reading.
* I'll reiterate Tom Wolf's The Bonfire of the Vanities and A Man in Full.
* Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is nominally aimed at adolescents, but people of any age can enjoy it.
* Michael Tolkin's The Player is partially about the business of film, as is its sequel, The Return of the Player.
If you're curious about more, send me an e-mail; I write a book blog at http://jseliger.com , and a lot of the reviews/commentaries would probably be of interest to hackerish types.
