Rosolas, a suggestion.
Try "Great Expectations" if you haven't already. Long, but still good.
And about feeling guilty about HP. I don't. (I don't read HP either, but I will spare you my rant on the subject.)
Some books I forgot to mention.
The Chronicles of the Cheysuli. Very interesting read. Eight book series that centers on a shapeshifting race and their attempts to fulfill a prophecy.
The novels of Tiger and Del: Sword-Dancer, Sword-Singer, Sword-Maker, Sword-Breaker, Sword-Born, Sword-Sworn. (Those are the six books in order.) They follow the adventures of two people who use their sword-skills to settle disputes. Fun.
Both of the above series are by Jennifer Roberson.
The Exiles (Trilogy? Series?) by Melanie Rawn. Very good read, nice looong books.
The Stone and the Flute. Hans Bemman. A truly intriguing tale of a man named Listener (even though that's the last thing he ever does) and how he learns a lot of life lessons from a stone that is called the eye-stone and a magic silver flute.
I will probably be back with more.
