Just a few of the older ones Any Sworeds and Sorcery by Fritz Leiber (Mouser is a wonderful thief and Fafhrd a great barbarian) Paul Edwin Zimmer's Dark Border (excellent intrigue) A bit of Mallory or Tennyson for that "Arthurian feel" Take a stroll through the French and German "fairy tales" of pre 19th and 20th-Centuries. Many of the works cited here have their foundations in such works. It's a bit difficult being at work, surrounded by mounds of work to remember all that I enjoy...but take a chance on new authors also...surprises await you.
