The House of the Wolfings by William Morris


Author whose pre-20th century work inspired Tolkien and Lewis, this is the only work I have been able to read from him. I have been meaning ot get Well of the Worlds End and The Sundering for awhile, now.
Conan by Robert Howard


The father of sword/sorcery fantasy with still the most kick a$$ melee character ever, Conan. Some ncie collections are offered here here, with Conan of Cimmeria Book 1 and Book II. A great way to experience Howard.
City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff VanderMeer


Collection of 4 interwoven stories, by my second favorite author today (Mieville). Second VanderMeer listing (Secret Life)
The Midnight Sun: The Complete Stories of Kane by Karl Edward Wagner


Collection of Wagner's work about character Kane a warrior/mage who wanders the the world i nboredom cosntantly being hunted by politically correct, benevolent, cowards. Not even an anti-heo, just an evil character to root for, collected nicely in this set. Charming.
The Devils in the Details by James Blaylock & Tim Powers


Both in one book! Features Through, and Through by Powers, The Devils in the Details by Blaylock, and a collaboration Fifty Cents.

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson


Like The Baroque cycle not for th casual fan of the genre, this is a long book, with many plots interweaving, non-linear, if your a moron stay away (Getting a little edgy toward the end of compiling this list:) Nice companion with the Baroque Cycle IMHO.
The Golden Age trilogy by John C. Wright


Along with Richard Morgan's (will be listed soon, hope I can fit him) work, he Sci-fi work I am presently msot enjoying Looking for a new sci-fi series? Buy Wright, you won't be disappointed. Also has a damn good fantasy series working with the first installment entitled The Last Guardian of Everness, also highly recommended.

Pattern Recognition by William Gibson


Second Gibson entry (Neuromancer), some fans don't like it, simply because it's set in present times (post9/11). Another fabulous, thougth provoker from the father of cyber space.
Facts of Life by Graham Joyce


Beautifully writen novel, IMHO Joyce's most complete novel that really is more of an example of magic realism than fantasy. Second novel by Joyce on my list (probably one more)
Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis


Sci-fi, socially relevant, satirecly, cynical, anarchist, political...and yes anotehr comic series nicely collected i na series of Graphic novels.
