I like Alexander McCall Smith's lesser known Scotland Street stories. I'm not sure if it is the real Edinburgh, but it's the one I know and love.

Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders, Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies. I like the Liveship series best of all (although I can't say that my view is shared by the majority of fans). For me they are the perfect example of what low fantasy should be.

I read Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy. It was good but made me cry several times.
For younger readers I highly recommend the Ranger's Apprentice series and it's brother series the Brotherband Chronicles.

The Sharpe books by Bernard Cornwell. Please don't judge them on the television stories.

The Series of Unfortunate Events - not the best, but definitely the weirdest books I have ever read.

Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series and Robert Crais' Elvis Cole & Joe Pike series. Noir mysteries set in LA. Great writing. I also think Harry Potter and The Hunger Games are wonderfully well-written series.

Re: "Horatio Hornblower...C.S. Forester."

I must make time to read those books someday. I've been told they're excellent, but I've not yet gotten around to reading them.

Probably The Green Mile by Stephen King, which was originally released in six parts.

The Lord of the Rings. If I had time I'd read the "Poldark" series by Winston Graham. I've seen it on T.V as a miniseries and it's a great and gripping story.

My memory has just kicked in now. I read 7 books in a series on Rome and the Romans by Colleen McCullough - an amazing read and very meaty.

The Harry Hole novels by Jo Nesbo, the Department Q series by Jussi Adler-Olsen and Camilla Lackberg's Fjallbacka series.
I also agree with the earlier poster who put Michael Connelly and Robert Crais, and I'd add the Kinsey Millhone series by Sue Grafton.
And for a good laugh, the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.
