Tolkien's Middle Earth of course...
Larry Niven's Ringworld and his known universe.
Asimov's Robot
Zalazny's Amber
Saberhagen's Berserker
Gibson's Neuromancer. The first two stand above.
Fritz Leiber's Swords (Fafhrd and Gray Mouser)
The last couple decades I'd have to say Addison Wesley gets most of my time. :/

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
