Mercedes Lackey is one of my guilty pleasures, although I really only like the Arrows and Last Herald-Mage series. I have been known to read and re-read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Anonymous Rex by Eric Garcia is a great little book; the sequel (or prequel) is okay, but not as good as the first. I really like The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley, but if I'm feeling really wretched I'll read Deerskin. Harry Potter! Miles Vorkosigan! Several of the Leaphorn and Chee novels by Tony Hillerman are on my read-over list, most notably Skinwalkers and A Thief of Time. A Wizard of Earthsea and sequels. A Wrinkle in Time and sequels. The Brother Cadfael novels.
I'm sure there are more, but I'm sick and already made two trips to the bookshelf to get titles or authors that I'd forgotten the names of. Which means I'm really sick, if I can't remember what that book was that Tolkien wrote. You know, the one about that guy, and he goes off and tromps around the country with those other guys, then they all go home at the end and have tea.
