Favourites people have already mentioned: DISCWORLD, Narnia, Vorkosigan, the Bartimaeus books, The Edge Chronicles.

Favourites people haven't mentioned: Honor Harrington, Janny Wurts' Wars of Light and Shadow. I'm not sure Sherlock Holmes counts since it's mostly short stories?

Things I loved for ages but eventually let slide: The Dresden Files (got too apocalyptic and depressing), The Wheel of Time (stuck it out until Path of Daggers but eventually it was just too much effort), the Shannara series (I love the original trilogy and the Heritage series, as well as the Knight of the Word trilogy before it got stitched in, but eventually the slew of series got too much), the Gormenghast trilogy (I pretend its a duology and call it good)

I've also read significant chunks of about a gazillion crime series, but I don't tend to count that since they're mostly popcorn books to me.

Things I tried to get into but couldn't: Sword of Truth (I won't even claim ideological objections, I just never got beyond the first few chapters of the first book), the Dark Tower (me and Stephen King never got on). I also kept meaning to try Tad Williams' stuff, I just never actually manage it.

Dresden Files got too depressing, too quickly for me. I'd love to read more of the relatively light hearted stuff, but it seemed like the author wanted to keep upping the ante every single book. Harry has to get more and more powerful, the stakes got higher, the comedy kind of went away as stuff got more depressing, etc.
