 Golden Compass, The (2007)
IMDB rating: 6.50
Plot: Lyra Belaqua, living in Oxford’s Jordan College, is not but a young girl living among scholars. Her world may seem diverse, from physical embodiments of souls that take the shape of an animal, but similar with people around you to become friends and enemies. She is thrown into a perilous adventure when she overhears a conversation of an extraordinary microscopic particle, Dust. This particle is said to unite different worlds, and is feared by many who want to destroy it forever. As Lyra is flung into the middle of this horrible struggle, she meets wondrous creatures both big and small, and villains who are not what they seem. Gobblers, that kidnap children, will turn out in the most unexpected places. And a magical compass of gold that will answer any question if one is skilled enough to read it. Lyra’s adventure continues throughout these three books, and the first is about to be told.

I agree, Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings.
The Amber Chronicles by Roger Zelazny is another interesting series. He managed to create a universe in which every other story ever written is just a sub-plot to his.
My buddies and I in high school used to say he cheated. =]
Also like anything from Greg Bear, Timothy Zahn or Tad Williams.
And don’t forget the Hitch Hiker’s Guide!

I like quite a few that you’ve listed here, namely the Stephen King books, LOTR trilogy, David Copperfield, Wizard of Oz, The Chronicles of Narnia, and the Ray Bradbury books (especially Fahrenheit 451).
My favorite book of all time is 1984 by George Orwell.
I also love anything by Anne Rice (specifically the Vampire Chronicles, but I also like her Mayfair Witches saga), and Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.
I also love Anne Rule, and anything to do with history or religion.
