You might want to find a chair - we're going to be here for awhile...
I will read just about anything that stands still long enough. With that - some of your favorites are some of mine too! MZB in particular - I've read to falling apart several copies of Mists Of Avalon and The Catch Trap is one I reread every so often. Mercedes Lackey is also a big one - I read just about all of her series. Robert Heinlein, Tom Clancy, Anne McCaffrey, Rita Mae Brown. I'm working my way through the Donald Strachey mysteries by Richard Stevenson. A lot of gay/lesbian fiction & erotica - if it has a SF/Fantasy bent, even better. In Conquest Born by CS Friedman is absolutely wonderful with it's portrayal of two completely different warring societies. Stephen King's The Stand is another I've read to falling apart. Bertrice Small is one of the few romance writers I read - she puts a lot of historical in her historical romances and they're usually pretty steamy too! Helen Hooven Santynmeyer's And Ladies Of The Club is a wonderful, HUGE novel about a women's book club in small town Ohio set after the Civil War - the characters are amazing. I love Diana Gabaldon's Lord John series - I have most of her Outlander series waiting for me but I have to get the first book first because I want to read them in order :) Naomi Novik's Temeraire, Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse, Margaret George's historicals. I've also been reading just about any Tudor related historical I can get my greedy little hands on.
Non fiction is just as varied - a lot of European WW2 for Hogan's Heroes research, Titanic, gay/lesbian history, cross-stitch & beading books, comedians like George Carlin, Dillinger era because I was doing reserarch for PE, Tudor England.
It's pretty safe to say that my apartment looks like a branch of the local library :)
