Hey /lit/, I'm looking for new reading materials in the fantasy market. Brief summary of what I've read and enjoyed so far:

LotR: Bit overdone on the descriptions but I still liked it. First real novel I've read, too.

Memory, Sorrow and Thorn: I read this back as a teenager and liked it a lot, read it again last year and didn't enjoy it as much. Still enjoyed it.

Dragonlance (Chronicles and Legends and few assorted extra books in the series): Absolutely loved the core books. The other stuff wasn't as good as the 6 core books, but still enjoyable.

Wheel of Time: Loved it, even though the overall pacing of the series feels a bit sluggish at times. Eagerly awaiting the next book.

Song of Ice and Fire: I wish the author would hurry up and finish the rest of this series. I believe that says enough.

His Dark Materials: Absolutely loved it. Movie sucked donkey balls on a greasy stick though.

The Sword of Truth: The first book was freaking amazing and the seven books went downhill in quality. Chainfire was god damn amazing but the last books I felt were god awful, I felt were god awful, I felt were god awful (hey look! I can repeat the same shit over and over again too!).

I tried reading The Dark Tower series but the introduction turned me off. I'll pick it up again eventually, but I'm not diving into that series anytime soon. Anyways, I'm looking for novels or series that resemble those I've listed above - at least in terms of quality and enjoyment factor.
