I am addicted to used book stores too! In Towson there is a chic used book store called Ukazoo and next store to it is a record and tape traders. If you go, plan on spending half of your day! + they have free coffee that is amazing.
First I would like to say I second the recommendation for Snowcrash. I had to read this book for an anthropology class and it is something I never would guess that I would enjoy, but I did.
I am currently in mist of reading a ton of required material for my grad class, but in between my mind mush I am reading the lastest Kristin Cashore, Fire. She is a new author, but I did see her first book Graceling already in a used book store!
My recent used book store finds are by authors Agatha Christie (detective stories), Robin McKinley (Sci-fi/fantasty + one of my new favorite authors), Alison Croggon(fantasy), and a random book called Nine Parts of Desire by Geraldine Brooks, which is about the hidden world of Islamic women.
If you are looking for fun sci-fi, look for books by Anne McCaffrey and Karen Traviss.
