Darn... Ar-Cunin beat me to it
Here's some stuff I enjoy. Robin Hobb's farseer Set LoTR of course J.V.Jones the barbed coil The Belgariad, The Malloreon, The Tamuli and the Elenium by David Eddings J.Meade.Falkner- Moonfleet Krondor the Betrayal et al. Anything by Terry Pratchett Any greek mythology, including one of my favourites the Hounds of Actaeon. Bad Omens by Pratchett and Gainman. These are just the first things I could think, but there is also assorted poems and prose, and other books I can't be bothered to mention.

Hmmm, having more than 10,000 books of all genre in my home library, I would still have to stick with these (no particular order)
The Lord of the Rings (including the Hobbit) Wheel of Time series (up to book 5... a bit dissapointing after that) The Sword of Truth series The Republic Art of War Les Trois Mousquetaires, Vingt ans après and Le Vicomte de Bragelone La Divine Comédie Germinal Keeping the Faith (if memory serves... Carter's Presidential Memoires) The Prince Le Petit Prince Other Light Reading Material: Philosophical work by Plato, Socrates, DesCartes, Nieche (sp) ... Jules Vernes, Balzac, Molière and Shakespeare stuff... Heavy duty stuff: The entire work of the Marquis the Sade (warning: not for the faint of heart, not recommended for anybody younger than 18 or the legal age in your country!)
