Oh I can't help it you said Fantasy/fiction is ok:
Little Big
by John Crowley
I have not read much fantasy but this book.... Wow!
All I can say is Wow & I can't believe there hasn't been an attempt at a film in all this time! I think there is major concern that they couldn't do it justice and are maybe holding out for a mini series or something. I am reading it again, (& again) it is now my favorite book of all time.

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, an 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.

I just read a great book called "A Brief History of the Dead" by Kevin Brockmeier. It's fiction with a sci-fi-ish theme.

Another good title that encompasses all of your areas of interest is "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. It is the first book in a series of 6 (so far) that follow the story of Claire Randall, an Englishwoman vacationing in Scotland in 1945 who, while visiting a stone circle, gets thrown backwards through time to 1740's Scotland. Very addictive reading : )
