or Eric Van Lustbader for Fantasy - The Sunset Warrior Series (also The Ninja series if you like that sort of thing)

Most of the things mentioned so far (bar the fantasy and more modern elements) are in the SF masterworks.. so that list would probably be a good place to start.
I also remember a time travel story (Star Diaries), where the Wednesday version of a person would beat up the Tuesday version of the same person as part of a funny, complicated plot.
It's a near-future dystopian/post-apocalyptic novel, set after a deadly and highly contagious virus sweeps the world (topical!).
The author herself doesn't actually agree with calling it "sci-fi", but it won the Arthur C Clarke Prize for Fiction so that's close enough for me!
Fantasy wise the malazan book of the fallen will keep you going for a long time indeed. It's super dense but very awesome and ridiculously epic in scope. The one with the chain of dogs in it was one of my favourite fantasy books I've read in the past few years.
The expand books are also very good. Better than the series and that's high praise too as I really enjoyed the series.
On a similar vein if you enjoyed any of the Gaiman stuff on Amazon Prime then the books are also worth a read.
A big upvote for Banks' 'Culture' novels.
I meant the individual books were quick reads
He could read the Castle Brass or the Elric of Melnibone and decide if they were for him. They can be read as individual trilogys ( some would say thankfully I suppose )
Oops, I should have read the whole post. Didn't catch that you'd already read Moorcock and Covenant
