I am and always will be a Tolkienite. (And still peeved at Peter Jackson for ruining Elrond's character).
Also very into the Old Kingdom Trilogy by Garth Nix (I think in North America it's called The Abhorsen Trilogy).
I just finished Sabriel a few days ago. Certainly one of the better books I've read recently. I have the sequel on request from the library right now.I've read "Sabriel" so far - and it was indeed brilliant. I think he's had a new one out recently - a prequel - "Clariel"?

Anyone else like Diana Wynne Jones?
I particularly liked Howl's Movng Castle, Enchanted Glass, and the books in the Dalemark series.
I've read Howl's Moving Castle and liked it.Anyone else like Diana Wynne Jones?

I grew up reading Terry Pratchett. I still love his books until now.
Terry Pratchett's Discworld series is just great. I listen to them as audiobooks and I always do my best illustrating while listening to his stories.
For more 'serious' Fantasy, the Fortress in the Eye of Time By C. J. Cherryh is one of my favorites. Some of my friends say it's dead boring, but somehow it struck a chord with me and I have read it several times.
Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were my first favorite fantasy authors.
There are so many more books that I like.
