I just finished The Lies of Locke Lamora last night. Frankly, this is some of the best escapist writing I've read in years. Yes, it's fantasy, so you would need to like that sort of thing to get into this novel, but if you are inclined towards stories of magic, swords and such, you this one is worth it. Also, Scott Lynch's world building is great. I highly recommend it.
I may have misrepresented the book slightly. Yes, it's set in a fantasy world. Yes there's magic, and swords, and fantastical monsters. However, what makes the book interesting is it's basically about a con game set in the fantasy equivalent of medieval Venice. As for other fantasy books, what sort do you like? Do you like epics? Gritty realism? Urban Fantasy? Humour?
Hmm. Well, I don't read much fantasy though I do have a soft spot for folk tales and legends. I think my favorite would probably be Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf. There's an ongoing comic series that I've been reading since I was a kid, Usage Yojimbo that sometimes has fantasy elements to it, usually in the form of ghost stories. Other than that, I think the closest I get to fantasy books are probably the cape comics I read. So. Uh. Keeping that vaguery in mind, what do you have? ;)
Hmm, I think I might have to answer your vaguery with an all-purpose list. Please, do not take this as exhaustive--these are merely some of the thing's I've enjoyed that are even remotely flavoured with fantasy. Pseudo-Historical Fantasy: anything Guy Gavriel Kay Actual Historical Fantasy: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell Maybe Historical? Fantasy: The King if Ys series by Poul Anderson Funny Fantasy: Small Gods by Terry Pratchett Gritty Fantasy: the Black Company novels by Glen Cook Mind-Numbingly Complex Fantasy: the Malazan series by Steven Erikson Urban Fantasy: Dreams Underfoot by Charles de Lint Epic Fantasy: A Song of Ice and Fire by GRRM (yeah, yeah, I know) Work in Progress: the works of Patrick Rothfuss Bonus, because everybody should read these guys (but they're not strictly fantasy): Umberto Ecco and Jorge Luis Borge. Anyways, that's about all I can think of off the top of my head. Also, I'm exclusively a fantasy reader, so I'm sure there are more dedicated fans of the genre that could likely give you some better recommendations.
