When it comes to fantasy my favourite is Charles de Lint.

There are a lot of good ones out there. The best one I've found was King Fortis the Brave by LaMontagne and Snyder. It's about a pair of twins that are pulled into a magical land where they find themselves caught in the middle of a battle for control of the realm. The boy twin, Rodney, is mistaken for King Fortis, a King Arthur-like figure that is to someday return in the time of the land's greatest need. It's really a great book full of humor and adventure. I recommend it to my students all the time and have had students that really hate to read come back and tell me how much they love it.

"Hahrper & the Thing: A Funny Dirty Horror Novel" by Jeff Hylton. Plus, anything from the McSweeney's Quaterly Concern (a QTRLY book/magazine full of literature, serious weirdness, and fun).

Shelter by Simms and Maynard short but different horror. Of course any Richard Layman is good.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini good fantasy. And believe it or not written by a 16 year old. Really good.

For comedy, I'd look for Fannie Flagg. I just got finished reading two of her books. She also wrote Fried Green Tomatoes.

For fantasy books, check out George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series.
