I liked Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. Couldn't put it down.

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende just might be my favorite book of all time. Just try to get a decent edition that actually prints the text in red and blue. (There is a reason for this, be assured.)
The Old Kingdom books by Garth Nix. Start with the first one, Sabriel, which was orinally written as a standalone, so if you don't like it, at least you'll never have to read on just for the sake of finishing the trilogy (as I sometimes do). But I doubt you'll dislike it.

Although Legend of the Seeker (the TV show) is rather "meh" it's still a decent watch if you're a fan, IMO (despite the complete mishmash of the story they've done). That said, I never bothered reading past book 6 in the Sword of Truth, as the complete shift in focus in the 7th book interested me not at all. However, those first 6 were pretty good.
Edit: I recommend Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett (just got done with it).

If you like humour like this, I recommend 'Grunts!' by Mary Gentle. It's about middle-earth where Orcs are the good guys, elves are racist bigots, and halflings are thieves.
