Patricia C. Wrede, Mercedes Lackey, and Anne McCaffrey are all good. So's Michael Chrichton. I also recommend Rosemary Edghill, especially
The Sword of Maiden's Tears and its sequels. Simon Hawke is good for some comic sci-fi-fant. And Laurie R. King has a Sherlock Holmes series that's even better than the original.
Most recently finished
Great Expectations by Dickens,
The Once and Future King by T. H. White, and G. K. Chesterton's Father Brown stories. Am currently in the middle of the Silm.,
La carta esférica by Arturo Perez-Reverte,
Don Quixote,
Shakespeare's Language, and I pick up a Sluggy Freelance every so often.
