I was absolutely crushed when I saw that Jordan died. I've been reading the Wheel of Time almost yearly since I was 14. For all its flaws, I've never loved a story that much.

As far as other fantasy goes, Malazan book of the Fallen is fantastic, as is Song of Ice & Fire.

I did not really enjoy the Fionavar Tapestry. Something about it didn't really click with me.

For one I haven't seen mentioned, Tad Williams series Memory, Sorrow & Thorn is pretty good. Otherland was a disappointment for me. Great concept, and a writer I enjoy, but it dragged a lot at the end.
