Discworld - I just love stories from Terry Pratchet and there are lots of them (40 books).

Plus one for Discworld. I also really like the way Gods, magic and interplanetary travel worked in the Raymond E Feist Universe (the main planet was midkemia?)
This is my answer as well. It's not at all because the world [building] is so compelling -- there are better (well, crunchier) books out there for that -- but the recurring characters and settings and themes, make this series a total comfort to go back to every few years. It's like a warm blanket.
