I have no clue what you've already read (or if you're interested in finding a few new authors) but here are a few suggestions for you:

China Mieville - Perdido Street Station, The Scar
Robbin Hobb - The Farseer Trilogy
Stephen King - The Dark Tower (I'm guessing you've read this)
Stephen R. Donaldson - The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Unbeliever
Neil Gaiman - American Gods
Isaac Asimov - The Foundation Series

I have no clue how many of those you've already read but I'm a big fan of the Wheel of Time and I absolutely love all those books/series' as well. Feel free to ask any questions if you want.
