Really good books

Okay, I've been reading too much ASoIaF by G.R.R.Martin and Nick Perumov books etcetera. So now I can't read any decent books without dropping them.

Can you recommend me some really good books?  Preferably not too cliché.

If not, I might really have to resort to reading R.A.Salvatores Road of the Patriarch.

so, so true .. I wish I wasn't so jaded already. By now 95% of all sf/f books piss me off just after reading the back cover, because it's either the same shit I read 50 times already or is of the happy flower wonderland fantasy style for kids.

Try some Abercrombie like that ^ anon said, though, it's very good and has a "fresh" feel to it (Glen Cooks Black Company is fine too). Also, The Name Of The Wind by Rothfuss (it is clichéd but the quality made up for it for me) and the Locke Lamora stuff by Scott Lynch. Furthermore, try David Gemmell, Steven Brust, Matthew Woodring Stover.

About Bakker ... be careful with those, buy only the first at once tbh. It's either love or hate with them, no middle ground. If you need likable characters to enjoy a story, you'll feel like burning it. They're fine books nevertheless, but for me they just didn't work, after only half of the first book I was hoping everyone would die a slow, agonizing death.

Oh, also, Erikson. (it's made of win, srsly.)
