Case of Conscience is worth a read, too. I only ever read one Culture novel, Player of Games, and I can't remember anything about it apart from that one thing about how when you're in the middle of a game and it suddenly dawns on you that you're going to win. Always stuck with me, and if I'm winning an RTS game it always comes back to me.

The best socialist fantasy/SF novel is Iron Council by China Mieville. You might want to read Perdido Street Station first for background on the world, but it's not strictly necessary.
