For many people, they reach for a mystery, romance or thriller for a "good read". Since I discovered Andre Norton's books in junior high, it has always been fantasy books for me. It wasn't until years later I found out Andre was actually a woman author named Alice.
It doesn't have to be high fantasy. Urban fantasy will do from authors like Charles de Lint, Tanya Huff and Jim Butcher. For more traditional fantasy, Mercedes Lackey remains a favorite especially the Vlademar series and Elemental Masters series. For some people, a long series is a problem. I continue reading most of Andre Norton's books until she died when in her 90s. I leave the paranormal romances and military fantasy for other to enjoy but that still leaves a wide range of fantasy style to enjoy.
Until recently, there was not one fantasy booklist on our Booklist page. Now there are three:
Urban Fantasy
Here be Dragons
Tales of the Fey
Is there another kind of fantasy, you really like?
