Clarke's novelization of 2001: A Space Odyssey (written in conjunction with Kubrick's script, not before or after) is not only great on its own, but goes very well with the movie. If you were ever confused by it, the novel makes it much clearer while still letting the film stand on its own as a distinct work.

Rendezvous with Rama is also of note; the sequels which follow aren't particularly interesting (most of which, I believe, were ghostwritten anyways) but the first is really interesting, sort of like Ringworld but with more urgency and religious overtones.
