If you're into hard-core fantasy, I can recommend George R.R. Martin's series Songs of Ice and Fire, although they are definitely NOT for the squeamish.
If you like good historical fiction with a teensy bit of bodice-ripping, check out Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. They're very excellent, and hard to put down. I had to buy a second copy of the first book after I wore out my first copy, which I must confess I dropped in the tub once.

I would add that Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln have been pretty much debunked, and IIRC Merovingian was the one who led me to some sites about that. BL&L still make a hell of an interesting historical-detective read.
