I don't really read fantasy. Indeed, 90% of what I read is non-fiction; primarily history, genetics, paleoanthopology, evolutionary science, art and more history.
I was a bit of a Lord of the Rings freak when I was a kid, but haven't really read any fanstasy since then. It's mostly tripe if truth be told. Very formulaic.
I do like the science fiction of Iain M Banks and William Gibson. I guess I most be the only person in the world who lost interest in Cyptonomicon. It was just kinda boring.
I've heard good things about Perdido Street Station by China Mielvile [sp?].
And, as has been mentioned, Dan Simmmons's Hyperion series is absolutely superlative.
