Pre-OMD stories with Peter still being married to Mary Jane
I created a thread about Dick Grayson/Nightwing and Koriand'r/Starfire. It is to acknowledge and honor their iconic and popular relationship.
I created a fan page about Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson. This page is for all the Spider-Marriage fans.
"The Enigma Force is not a tool to be manipulated by mortals. The Enigma Force comes to those it deems worthy. What temerity, what arrogance, makes you think you are worthy? Have you not all made mistakes? Unforgiveable ones?" - Captain Universe
"Call me an Avenging Angel, Baron, come to safeguard Earth...call me CAPTAIN UNIVERSE!" - Ray Coffin
"You're my heart, Mary Jane Watson...you're my jackpot." - Peter Parker

Funny, I literally just re-read The Night Gwen Stacy Died/The Goblin's Last Stand yesterday. They're incredible comics that remind me how good "big 2" comics can be. It's surprising just how much better those two issues are than the rest of the run which, while inconsistent, is mostly pretty damn good.
Other Spidey stuff I often go to is Amazing Fantasy #15 (a perfect comic), Kraven's Last Hunt, DeMatteis' Harry/Green Goblin run, Slott's run up to the end of Superior Spider-man, all the early venom stuff and Origin of the Hobgoblin tpb/Hobgoblin Lives.
"Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!
Slott's run up to the end of Superior Spider-Man. Still one of the best periods for Spider-Man comics.
Ultimate Spider-Man
Roger Stern's Amazing and Spectacular Spider-Man.
And of course the classic Lee-Ditko run.

Untold Tales of Spider-Man
Amazing Fantasy #16-18
Brand New Day
Oooh, also Michelinie's Return of the Sinister Six and Larson's Revenge of the Sinister Six. Those arcs are an absolute blast!

Marvel Knights: Spider-Man
The JMS run
The Death of Jean DeWolff
Lost Years and Redemption.
Name of the Rose and Revenge of the Sinister Six, since those were two of the first Spidey stories I ever read and they're still fun to read.
