Are there other fictional universes that just, y'know, get you that way?
Fionavar.
I love, love, love the Guy Gavriel Kay trilogy. I've read it umpteen times, and I always love it, and the death of one character in particular makes me cry every time (though not cry buckets as I did on second or third reading).
My husband tried to read it, was bored, and gave up.
Somebody whose opinion I generally respect a whole lot spent a blog post or two detailing the ways in which the books are an unholy mishmosh of mythologies, politically Wrong, and generally sucked.
Doesn't matter. Doesn't even matter that I can see some of Kay's other books (esp. Tigana) are probably better written. I just...love the Fionavar Tapestry.
(Hm. It's been at least a year. Time to reread again!)
