For fantasy--Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williamson, a very complex hero's journey.

For SF--any of the Vorkosigan books by Lois McMaster Bujold. If you haven't read any of these run out right now and get them. These are sort of space opera, the hero, Miles is a brilliant military leader with a stunted body, fighting enemies for his emperor as well as fighting prejudice against his appearance. I know it sounds sappy, but seriously, Miles Vorkosigan, is the best character I've come across since Valentine Michael Smith in close to 40 years of reading SF.
