Books I've finished that I really enjoy, though some series are not finished yet.
Brent Weeks 'Lightbringer Series' starting with The Black Prism very unique system of magic and wonderful story.
Patrick Rothfuss 'Kingkiller Chronicle' starting with The Name of the Wind these books I would recommend to anyone.
I've also read Dawn of Wonder by Johnathan Renshaw
If you like fantasy you can't go wrong with any of these
Many of Appendix N can change the way you perceive your world. Fritz Leiber's Fahfrd and The Gray Mouser books had changed my view of thieves and criminal operations in cities.
Brent Weeks has the Lightbringer series starting with The Black Prism Which has a truly unique system of magic and also made me question the active role of an emperor or ruler having them do more than be simple politicians.
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss gave me a new look at a university for Magic.
For a bonus there is an episode of the television show Stargate SG-1 in which two of the characters get trapped in a time loop and eventually realize they have no consequences while looped. IIRC the episode is called Window of Opportunity. Anything with time manipulation can make for fun worlds.
I know it's not much, but this is what popped in my head. Pretty much anything I've ever read or seen one way or another helps build my world for my players.
