Fantasy recommendations

[Albertosaurus Rex]

Well, as the title says. I'll start by listing mine:

Robin Hobb, obviously. I've read everything she's written so far, except for The Soldier Son, which is on my to-be-read pile. An excellent author.
I like the Megan Linholm books too, although I haven't been able to obtain all of them yet.

George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire just blew me away. It is currently my favorite fantasy series, and this is not likely to change in the immediate future. The only other book I've read outside of ASOIAF so far is Dying of the Light, which I unfortunately did not enjoy.

Michael Ende's The Neverending Story is one of my all-time favorites, about a boy who becomes part of the story he is reading. Much better than the movies, which I dislike (although the first one was a good, though flawed, effort).

Garth Nix is an excellent writer, I love his Old Kingdom novels. The first of those, Sabriel, which originally written as a stand-alone, so be sure to give it a try. It's about necromancers, sorta, only they put the dead to rest instead of raising them.

Stephen Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covenant are not an easy read, I think, but well worth your time. About a man who is transported into a fantasty world, but believes that he is hallucinating.

David Gemmell writes some solid stuff, but he does get repititive.

Katharine Kerr is okay I guess.
