Vernor Vinge: A Fire Upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky.
Joan Vinge: Catspaw and Dreamfall.
Steven Brust: The Vlad Taltos series, collected in: The Book of Jhereg, The Book of Taltos, The Book of Athyra, Dragon and Issola. Then The Phoenix Guards, Five Hundred Years After, The Paths of the Dead and The Lord of Castle Black. Which will have you waiting on tenterhooks for the release of Sethra Lavode.
Glen Cook: the Black Company series starting with The Black Company.
Gene Wolfe: Shadow & Claw, Sword & Citadel, and then The Urth of the New Sun.
Dorothy Sayers: the Lord Peter Wimsey mystery series in general, but especially the Harriet Vane story arc, in order, which starts with Strong Poison, then Have His Carcase, Gaudy Night (which has got to be my favorite book of all time, ever, but must be read in the proper palce in the series to get the full impact), and Busman's Honeymoon. If you like those, you might want to check out the sequels written by Jill Paton Walsh from notes and partial manuscripts of Dorothy Sayers--
Jill Paton Walsh: Thrones, Dominations and A Presumption of Death.

Re: Books
Of course, now that I've seen Master and Commander I'm going to have to go read O'Brien's books as well. I've been resisting all those people who have said "They're GRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!" for years[1], but my resolve is crumbling...
[1] There seems to be a large core of poeple who like Lois McMaster Bujold, Dorothy Sayers, Georgette Heyer, and Patrick O'Brien all together - I've read and liked the first three, so I'll probably like O'Brien. And the *good* news is that there's 23 of his books.
