1) Flashman series, by George MacDonald Fraser

2) Virtually anything written by the late Roger Zelazny

3) Virtually anything written by the late Bob Heinlein

4) Virtually anything written by the still-living Glen Cook

5) Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigen series.

The list could go on. Catch-22 , Up the Down Staircase , and John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee series are high on my non-fantasy/sf list.

Most current fantasy, I think, is both puerile and rather poorly written, including Mr Jordan's massive money-making machine. It's unfortunate that classic fantasy, such as E. R. Eddison's, is virtually unknown, now.

Da gustabus non est disputandum.
