Hemingway, in my opinion, gives the best return on snob power for your time invested reading them. His books are something like a third grade reading level, so you can easily power through a lot of them in a short time if all you're going for is completion. For example The Old Man and the Sea is like fifty pages long and actually pretty interesting. But for people who have never read any Hemingway, just being able to have an opinion on Hemingway is impressive. The same goes for any classic author, but if your whole goal is to be as snobby as possible in the least amount of time, Hemingway is your guy.

Other than that I think I, Robot and I Am Legend are great books for snobbery. You can talk about how the film industry perverted the actual messages in the stories (which they totally did). Bonus points if you can tie it in with other Will Smith movies to create some kind of grand thesis, but that's all I've got.
