Two of the fantasy books would make my list of all-time favorite books without question: The Lord of the Rings and Watership Down. I also liked The Last Unicorn, The Princess Bride, The Once & Future King, the Space trilogy, and pretty much all of the Gaimans.
To say which of the SF I liked requires a mental paradigm shift, as my liking for good SF feels quite different. Nevertheless, all the Asimovs (my favorite old-time genre SF author), Childhood's End, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, The Forever War, Flowers for Algernon, both the Le Guin books, A Canticle for Leibowitz, and Cat's Cradle all got my thumbs-up for good reading.
