Then I like reading Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Battletech, and Shadowrun (there are probably more, but I can't think of them at the moment).
I used to read a lot, and would finish several books a week, and generally retain the better share of it for quite a while. But my pace has slowed down quite a bit, and I've picked up a lot of things that need my time, so I'm lucky if I finish a book a week any more.

Check out Neil Gaiman, your list looks a lot like mine so I imagine you're probably an D&D nerd like myself. My Storyteller from a Vampire the Masquerade game I was in turned me on to Gaiman. Neverwhere, and Stardust are awesome books.
I used to love King, in college, and I've read a lot of James Patterson too. I call it bubble gum for the brain. Not necessarily good for you but still fun once in a while.
I tend to like individual books more than authors, Dune, Ender's Game, and Hyperion are all examples of books I loved, but really didn't like or couldn't get through the sequels.
