Gene Wolfe - I really like the duology The Knight and The Wizard, but I'd rec them with the caveat that I can also imagine people bouncing right off them. And I have been intrigued by The Shadow of the Torturer (first of the New Sun series) every time I read it (three or four times, now?), and every time something else gets in the way before I read the rest.
Andre Norton - where to start? Avoid very early (Ralestone Luck has deeply problematic slave owners as sympathetic ancestors), and late works that say "co-written with". I have never gotten into the Witch World books. I love her sf - The Zero Stone, Judgment on Janus, Crosstime Agent, the Solar Queen series, her children's Magic books, and her achieved goal of publishing at least one book titled appropriately for every letter of the alphabet.
