Either I read very poorly or no one has suggested David Eddings yet. I'm a big fan of his. For those who don't know of Eddings' work, it's fantasy and very well-written fantasy I might add. It's got mostly everything; humour in heaps, foul creatures, evil sorcerers, valiant knights, fair women, wise wizards and an enormous amount of details making the stories vivid and believable. For those of you who are into fastasy, I strongly recommend that you pick up one of his books.
Just my two cents...
