For Fantasy I loved the Thieves' World shared universe. The first 4 books were my favourites. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thieves'_World While some of his work hasn't aged well, I am still quite fond of several of Michael Moorcock's Elric novels and the first Corum trilogy. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elric_of_Melniboné http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corum_Jhaelen_Irsei
on “What are your favorite sci-fi and fantasy books?” ↗You might enjoy reading Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné series. It's in part about a society that spends most of its time high as a kite, and its inevitable downfall.
