One of the best books I've ever read (well, actually three books) would be the Lyonesse trilogy by Jack Vance. The three are: (1) Lyonesse, also published as Suldrun's Garden; (2) The Green Pearl; and (3) Madouc. This is a fantasy/epic fairy tale/medieval romance unlike anything else I've ever read, utterly haunting and beautiful. I urge readers to look for this masterpiece on Amazon. Even readers who don't usually like the fantasy genre will be swept in by Vance's wonderful storytelling.
Another book I consider a great work of art is Watership Down by Richard Adams. Again, there is nothing like it. In mood and style, it is unique and impossible to forget.
I could probably name a few others but those are the two that come to mind immediately.
