Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread for NOT mentioning the Wheel of Time or Sword of Truth series'.
Based on that fact alone, I'm actually very excited to go back through the thread and pick up some of the recommended books.
Love this series. I've read it a couple times and just fall in love with it each time. Have you tried her newest trilogy.. the Magister's Trilogy? I believe only two books are out currently but it's wonderful as well. Completely different world/magic/story.
Yes and yes. So glad someone else mentioned Rothfuss. He's in my top-three favorite authors, alongside Hobb and Martin. I think he's one of those people who is just blessed with the knack for writing. I even follow his daily blog. Him, Hobb and Martin all three.. even if they're just writing a one-paragraph news update on their websites, they all have that knack for making them informative, interesting, witty and oftentimes humorous.
Has anyone here read all of the Steven Brust Dragaera books?

The main character is a bit arrogant, but the writing is wonderful. It's the first book of the Kingkiller Chronicles, and the second one isn't coming out until 2011, so you might want to wait for this one...
