What should I read instead of WoT?

I am looking for a great fantasy or sci-fi book/series that is truly enjoyable. 

You could try A Song of Ice and Fire. George RR Martin puts much more action into his books and hasn't let himself get lost in plotlines. On the other hand, those books are full of rape and pedophilia and all the main characters die when you get attached to them, which is why I stopped reading.
