I can't believe no one has mentioned the EC series of books by Jean M. Auel....
- The Clan of the Cave Bear (book 1)
- The Valley of Horses (book 2)
- The Mammoth Hunters (3)
- Plains of Passage (4)
- and just now out, book 5 titled "Shelters of Stone"
this is one of THE most well-researched sets of historic-fantasy books in existance today. The movie based on book 1 sucked (The Clan of the Cave Bear, starring Darryl Hannah) but the books are incredible. I've read the series through at least 5 times over the years, and I know others that have read it more like 10 or 20 times.
Sci-fi ---
Available at any book store, the 2-book series titled "The Moat in God's Eye" by Niven & Pournelle, what a cool story, very well written IMO.
Obviously pretty much anything by Steven King. Some of my alltime favs are "Nightmares & dreamscapes"..... a short story collection,
and.....
The Tommyknockers,
Thinner (as Richard Bachman)
The Green Mile (amazing)
King is the master. No arguing about it, he just is.
Kuntz has some pretty impressive novels out ther as well. I remember reading one of his called "Strangers" that was pretty cool, and I know I've read a few others of his that were well put together.
