"Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" by Samuel R. Delany is one of my all-time favourites, read it more times than any other book probably. The way he draws you in to such an alien universe is amazing.

His "Dalgren" is also pretty good, definitely prefer his longer novels rather than his shorter works, gives him room to really bring unfamiliar worlds to life.

"The Coming of the King: The First Book of Merlin" by Nikolai Tolstoy is an excellent Fantasy novel that doesn't seem to be that well known. The tale completely immerses the reader in a world of Arthurian legend and Celtic myth.
