Hmm. Well, I don't read much fantasy though I do have a soft spot for folk tales and legends. I think my favorite would probably be Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf. There's an ongoing comic series that I've been reading since I was a kid, Usage Yojimbo that sometimes has fantasy elements to it, usually in the form of ghost stories. Other than that, I think the closest I get to fantasy books are probably the cape comics I read. So. Uh. Keeping that vaguery in mind, what do you have? ;)
Hmm, I think I might have to answer your vaguery with an all-purpose list. Please, do not take this as exhaustive--these are merely some of the thing's I've enjoyed that are even remotely flavoured with fantasy. Pseudo-Historical Fantasy: anything Guy Gavriel Kay Actual Historical Fantasy: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell Maybe Historical? Fantasy: The King if Ys series by Poul Anderson Funny Fantasy: Small Gods by Terry Pratchett Gritty Fantasy: the Black Company novels by Glen Cook Mind-Numbingly Complex Fantasy: the Malazan series by Steven Erikson Urban Fantasy: Dreams Underfoot by Charles de Lint Epic Fantasy: A Song of Ice and Fire by GRRM (yeah, yeah, I know) Work in Progress: the works of Patrick Rothfuss Bonus, because everybody should read these guys (but they're not strictly fantasy): Umberto Ecco and Jorge Luis Borge. Anyways, that's about all I can think of off the top of my head. Also, I'm exclusively a fantasy reader, so I'm sure there are more dedicated fans of the genre that could likely give you some better recommendations.
