Books/writers that you love?

I reread Lord of the Rings every year.

And I won't shut up about The Night Circus.

I love Michael Pollan's book.

I love "The Kingkiller Chronicles", which in my opinion is one of the best new pieces of fantasy to come out in ages.

Jacqueline Carey wrote a sumptuous couple of trilogies set in an alternate history France which, if you're into kink, you absolutely must read. Phaedre is my favorite female protagonist. The books span some epic alt-history world building, with international intrigues, haute couture, amazing sword battles, and delightful lessons in love and loss.
