Atlanta Nights The Eye of Argon The Gor Saga For serious recommendations: Max Gladstone. He has a bit of a problem with "show, not tell" but the world he's created with the Craft Cycle is rich, intricate, and imaginative. Three Parts Dead is good, Two Serpents Rise blows it out of the water, and I don't know much about Full Fathom Five, but what little I've read was good.
