I don't see Roger Zelazny mentioned anywhere in this thread, so I guess it is my job to add his name to the list. Read anything by Zelazny, although I would recomment to start with the first five books of the Amber series:
Nine Princes in Amber
The Guns of Avalon
Sign of the Unicorn
The Hand of Oberon
The Courts of Chaos
The second cycle is good, but it is much more confusing and not as carefully plotted:
Trumps of Doom
Blood of Amber
Sign of Chaos
Knight of Shadows
Prince of Chaos
And other Zelazny books you might be interested in would be:
Lord of Light
Creatures of Light and Darkness
The Bells of Shoredan
The Changing Land
Dilvish, the Damned
Changeling
Madwand
