I'm not a big reader, but all the books I read, I enjoy
LOTR: amazing saga, has all the elements a fantasy book requires. Most fantastic book I ever read (and I know I'm not alone in this thought!)
Stephen King: best horror there is IMO (not that I'm an expert in the horror book section - horror movie section on the contrary ....).
Tom Clancy: great novels time after time. Action, good story, great background info, always realistic with a lot of research done. Good movie and game versions made from some of his books. Jack Ryan and John Clark are legendary characters!
