If you're looking for classic fantasy, I cannot recommend Raymond E Feist and David Eddings enough. The Riftwar saga is a masterpiece of world creation, and the Belgariad and Malloreon are all-around enjoyable.
The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan is also a great series, but it drags heavily around book 6, and the writing is incredibly dense. Feist and Eddings are like a delicious juicy burger with the lot and a good beer, while Jordan is like a 70 course degustation banquet.

*The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August."
Harry August is one of a small number of people who go back to the moment of their birth when they die. Eventually, most of these people regain some of their memories but Harry retains all of his memories. People like this know about each other and, using others of their kind, can send messages and information back and forth through time. One such person is developing technology sooner than is supposed to happen and is causing the end of the world.

Of Mice and Men, Fahrenheit 451, Moby Dick, Grapes of Wrath. All are a good start. Happy reading!
