I have to agree/disagree with alot of people already -- whatever is said about his writing, Robert Jordan's WoT series is just absolutely engrossing -- frustratingly long and slow sometimes, but it's almost like an entire history of another world, and just absolutely interesting too.
George Martin's books are also excellent, I'm just re-reading them now before i start the new one!
Terry Goodkind as well, I really enjoyed his books, but they were so...i don't know, wierd. Seemed like an RJ copy at first, then became something different. But his world -- it seems so empty and yet so complete at the same time! Ah well...
Other great books i love (in the scifi/fantasy theme we're on)
David Eddings - the Belgariad - my intro to fantasy and one of my favorites
Dave Duncan - the various Kings Blades books - great stuff
Ray Feist - the Pug series, can't remember the name
OS Card - Ender's game - my first scifi, and loved it too
