The Malazan Book Of The Fallen is incredible. My advice to anyone reading the series is don't get too caught up with stuff that you simply don't understand. Everything gets explained eventually. That being said I'm just on book #3 but so far I'm loving it.
This series is very fantasy and "magic-y" compared to something like A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones). If you're looking for something like that then dive in.
I'm not sure if this is considered fantasy but I'm on the first Dresden Files book by Jim Butcher. If you like fantasy with a bit of comedy thrown in try this. The books are very short compared to standard fantasy fare so you're not going to put a whole lot of time investment into the series before you know if you like or don't like it.
Next series I'd like to try is the Repairman Jack series or Shannara. Apparently that series is pretty much a LotR rip off, which to me isn't a bad thing.
