What should I read next?

Ok, I have only just gotten back into reading after years wasted in video games and TV.
I FINALLY finished the LotR trilogy and the Silmarillion; Have nearly completed the first three books of the "Ramayana" series by Ashok K Banker; and am trying to finish the Serpent War Saga by Raymond Fiest.

What other books or authors are worth reading? Suggestions?

The series of "Bas-Lag" books by China Mieville. Starts with Perdido Street Station, continues with The Scar, and Iron Council. The Scar was the best book in my opinion (I liked the extensive talk about the Ghosthead Empire, and High Cromlech), and Iron Council is the worst.
