The question comes up a lot so I've been asked to make a sticky. So, if you want to know what to read before Blackest Night, direct thy glazzies downward hence:
If you have a wealthy budget, pick up GL Rebirth, all of Johns' run on GL, all of GLC (including Recharge), and Sin Corps War. Basically everything Green Lantern since Rebirth.
If your budget is a little more conservative, just pick up Rebirth and everything Johns has done on Green Lantern (and Sin Corps War.)
If your budget is pretty tight, pick up Rebirth and Sin Corps War.
Keyser Soze has kindly provided a comprehensive list of the trade paperbacks that those post-Rebirth comics are available in as of 2/12/09:
GREEN LANTERN

No Fear

Hey Corp,
Thought you might want to add these to the Blackest Night list.
