Im re-reading Robert Jordans Wheel of Time series for like, the fourth time
I have a hard time finding new authors because not many people I know read my genres (fantasy and horror), and the little story synopsis on the backs of books never tell me enough. Im compulsive about finishing books I've started before beginning another, no matter how bad they are, so I fear starting a crappy book because it usually winds up taking me a few months to finish it because I have no desire to read it.

Lots of fantasy fans here.
I already mentioned "Songs of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin. "Malazan Book of the Fallen" by Stephen Ericson is also good. I really like everything by Guy Gavriel Kay. (And I assume you already have read Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean)
