The Malazan Empire 'saga' by Stephen Erikson.
Hands down the best Fantasy (my main genre) I've ever read. Kind of combines all the things I like about a bunch of other authors into a read that, while challenging (complex sentance structures, massive scope, massive character list), rewards with that "can't put it down" feeling (that contributed to the delay on this new board by a couple ofweeks!) that will have you DESPARATE for the next book.
There will be around 10 books in all with the first five already published -- each at around the 1000 page mark -- and I thoroughly recommend checking the series out.

I might have to. Sounds interesting. The 'can't put it down' effect seems a lot like the series I am reading...
Right now, I'm waiting - very impatiently - for
The Grand Crusade to come out on paperback, the fourth book of Michael Stackpole's DragonCrown War Saga, and one of the best fantasy series I've ever read. The world he invented for this series very well defined, and features a remarkable storyline.
