theres a lot of books to explore my salvatore...brooks as well, both have to have several dozen books each, in multiple series'

theres also Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan, Christopher Paolini, and more i cant think of, but look for the Deverry cycle too, and golden compass/percy jackson both have very good story lines, if on the really easy to read side of things

Jim Butcher

He has two series: Codex Alera (was very good, gets better after book 1) and Dresdren Files (currently reading).

Also I would check out the Night Angel Trilogy.

alice in wonderland?

Robert Jordan with The Wheel of Time I guess you have read?
Elizabeth Moon with The Deeds of Paksenarrion
J. V. Jones with Sword of Shadows
Brent Weeks with The Night Angel trilogy

David Gemmell is an amazing author, definitely one of my favorite, especially his Drenai series.
David Eddings I asume you've heard bout at least? Otherwise try his Redemption of Althalus, hilarious read.
Raymond E. Feist with his Riftwar Cycle, really good books expanding over decades.

And as Drow said before, Mistborn is spectacular, just finished it some days ago and daaaarn!

simon r. green
raimond e. feist
j.r.r. tolkien
r. a. knaak

Erikson, Bakker, Martin, Abercrombie, Lynch.

All worth picking up.

Oh if you haven't read Enders Game By Orson Scott Card then you should!

one of the best books ive read so far, and If you can you can get the audio book , then do so
They use different voices for each person and its really good

Terry Goodkind
George R. R. Martin
