What are your favorite pieces to improve your sight reading?

Bach is great to improve "horizontal" sight reading, i.e. melodic lines. I couple it with some Brahms sight reading for the "vertical" side (big chords everywhere). I am terrible at both (mistakes in tempo and wrong notes), but after one month of very slow daily practice the benefits start to show.
