matthew woodring stover. start w/ "heroes die." the guy is highly trained in martial arts and that makes his descriptions of fight scenes move like your watching a jet li movie. he's not afraid to curse like a sailor, and his characters are very multidimensional. the protagonist/antagonist relationship is unlike any i've ever seen in another book.
i'll second the terry pratchett vote two. god damn that guy writes funny.... but keep in mind he's british so be ready for humour not humor.... a la monty python on steroids. off the top of my head my favorite 2 of his are "small gods" and "moving pictures".
