Seriously?! Not one person mentioned Renato Rosaldo's Culture and Truth?! It was probably one of the most important books of the 20th century. Rosaldo and his late wife really changed the way ethnographic work was conducted and presented.
While I am a huge fan of Geertz, I recommend reading Victor Turner's The Ritual Process. I am currently re-reading it, and it is not hard to see how the books was truly ahead of its time. Turner may not be as seductive as a writer as Geertz, but his insights are just as amazing.
And for a pretty fun, but slightly out-dated, ethnography Anne Allison's Nightwork is a sick book. It is an ethnography about Japanese salarymen and hostesses.
