Terry Pratchett - The entire Discworld series
Fritz Leiber - Lankhmar series (Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser - Tolkein the father of Fantasy? Puh-lease Wink)

And just for Kage:
Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman - Good Omens


Good Omens is a good 'un. If we're going old school, there's a good collection of Lester Del Rey's short stories, but I don't recall the exact title.

I just remembered a book while listening to the podcast: Ender's Shadow. Easily the strongest and best sequel/companion book in the Ender series.

The whole Bean sub-series is a pretty good one, Ender's Shadow included. For some reason OSC decided that Bean's story would be the one about military tactics and sociology (you know, the interesting parts of Ender's Game), while the Ender series would become a crazy head-trip with long, often boring and pretentious lectures on philosophy.

Any fans of military SF could do worse than John Ringo's "March Upcountry" series. He put the e-books up for free at

Perhaps, but an obnoxious webpage full of _free books_. I'm willing to make that trade-off.
