Malazan, Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. Don't be put of by the shear volume of work and the neverending introduction to new characters. It has war, strategy, unexplored territories, gods, ascendants, philosophy, martial arts/ weapens, incredible dialogue, brutality, magic, beasts, friendship, deceit, violence, sex and death. A lot of violence and death. If I could read only one book for all of my life this would be it.

King-Killer Chronicles, by Patrick Rothfuss. Dark Tower, by Stephen King. All of the early Raymond E. Feist books.

That's a strange one to me! I started hearing a whole bunch of noise about The Lies of Locke Lamora last year, and just shrugged it off since, in all honesty, it kinda sounds like some shitty romance novel. When I finally picked it up earlier this year, however... oh man was I surprised! It's certainly a ride, and a very enjoyable one at that! And the Stormlight Archive. Absolutely loved it! I'm just sad I wandered into another trap where I'll be waiting for more books in the series. XD
Last time I did that it was the Wheel of Time books, which Sanderson so very fantastically finished up; it also opened my eyes for his own books. <3

I'd have to say The Dark Tower series by Stephen King, and Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel. If I really have to pick between the two I'd say The Dark Tower is better...I've reread that series so many times...

I looooved Clan of the Cave Bear. I really need to start the Dark Tower series, I've heard so many good things.

It's such a good series. I still have to read the last one though. I moved to Europe a couple years ago and am trying to rebuy them.
