Every year or two I re-read Dune, Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Amber, and Steven Brust's Taltos series. Always a pleasure.
The guy code write with a few words, he could paint an amazing picture.
All the Amber books, by Zelazny. Pretty much the same books I read every year or two.
Plus my personal picks; Taltos the assassin, Chronicles of Amber, Dune & LoTR.
Give a shot to Zelazny’s Chronicles of Amber (fantasy, not sci-fi).
I re-read it (or Chronicles of Amber) yearly after my first read some years back.
