The Hobbit is my favorite book...although 99% of the books I have ever read were not for pleasure, so I haven't read a lot of books that have the potential to top it.
I'm reading game of thrones series on my kindle now, and when I finish them (or get bored if that's how it turns out like I have heard), I will be moving on to Ender's Game, Dune, and a couple others.

Elmador, what'd you think of Tigana?
My buddy says it's the best book he's ever read and wants me to read it.
I did not really enjoy The Fionavar Tapestry...so I'm hesitant...
Tigana and Ysabel are the two GGK's I haven't gotten to yet. I own both and am working my way toward them. Sorry I can't help!  All I know though is that while Fionavar is fairly weak imo, The Sarantine Mosaic and The Last Light of the Sun are my favorite books of all time, narrowly beating out GRRM's ASOIAF.

Semper Fi by W.E.B. Griffin
It may not be a classic or an epic book like Dune but if I want to just lay around a read I can always read this and it usually ends with me reading the whole series.

I'm actually pretty fond of books such as Eaters of the Dead. I've read all the sci-fi classics and like them as well.
