Here's my list
Hope you've heard about some of them:
1)J.R.R. Tolkien - the Professor's books are a must! The Lord Of The Rings - cool, the Hobbit - kind of childish but nice too, the Silmarillion - I'm not surprised if you didn't heard of it, this is a hard to read book, it's about the world of The Professor from it's beginning.
2)Anthony Piers - I've read his Xanth series (too bad that not all of the books) - they are good, very good. I especially like them because of his magic world, maybe weird or chilish, but it's a full world, original one. also I've read his "Macroscope" - it's completely different from Xanth, but it is very interesting in spite of it's oldness.
3)Terry Pratchett - His DiscWorld series are hularios. They're better from book to book. The firs one was not as good as the others, but it's one of many !

I can add some Russian authors, but I'm afraid that not much of you heard of them. Maybe Kiar did.

I didn't read the "Chapaev i pustota" because of the weird name. Did you ever read Sergey Lukianenko ?

That's a really good questin Kiar. But I want to know do they know russian authors of our time, not only Dostoyevsky with his world famous "War and Peace", which actually supposed to be "War and People".

Misunderstandind suits better. I should tell not "War and People", but "War and the World" [the meaning is the same, but it's better that way]

HG Wells was the one that wrote war of the worlds!
I was mega disappointed when i read the Alchemist, i guess maybe it had been too hyped by my friends, and just wasnt the right time.
I remember when i read the celestine prophecy, it was at the exact point in my life that i was meant to read it, just fitted in so well and seemed to make things clear. I think thats what the alchemist did for my friends.....

I like all of Terry Brooks, J.R.R. Tolkien, and a nifty little series called "The Immortals" by Tamora Pierce that gives a new view on arcane and druidish magic (summoning aid by use of animals) and how creatures use magic.
