A few books ago, I would have said Robert Jordan, but since the books started dragging around book 7 and 8, I think that series has fallen off the list. Book 9 showed a lot of promise for the series getting good again but book 10 went back to the same old song and dance. Since book 10 was a borderline excruciating read, the entire series falls off the list.
Wheel of Time (books 1-6) - Rober Jordan
Sword of Truth - Terry Goodkind
The Drizzt Do 'Urden series - R.A. Salvatore
The Belgariad and The Mallorean - David Eddings
Don't worry, I'm getting to George R.R. Martin very soon. I've heard way to many good things about it to ignore it any longer.
