My reading tastes are pretty much for pleasure, lately - I already know enough facts.

Fritz Leiber - Swords against Death

Second book in the Lankhmar series, but you can read these in pretty much any order. Very early, very influential sword & sorcery stuff - this shit influenced D&D more than Tolkien, without a doubt. It's mostly loosely-connected short stories following the careers of Fafhrd (a northern barbarian) and The Gray Mouser (an amoral thief) in the city of Lankhmar. Very much in the pulp style. Leiber's stuff is pretty dark and wordy (think Lovecraft, just not so much), but there's tons of sex, violence, and intrigue, and a black sense of humor throughout the whole thing. A+, pick it up if you see a copy. (All the series are "Swords of/and (something)", so if you see that you can't go wrong.)
