I will agree with with the Neil Gaiman fans (Neverwhere is my fave). I've been feeling a little too a.d.d. lately to trudge through the game of thrones' bazillion plot lines, and Rothfuss is pretty good. It was cool to see King finish out the Dark Tower finally (grew up on that stuff).
Favorite stuff on my shelf:
David Eddings- the belgariad series. The distinct personalities and how they interact will make you smile.
Christopher Moore- anything by him :). Specifically though, "Lamb." Jesus learns Kung fu and meets a yeti.
A. Lee Martinez is a close runner up for the laugh-factor.
Julian May's Pliocene Exile saga is my favorite scifi.
For the kindle owners I highly recommend "Legion" by Brandon Sanderson. It's a short story about a genius who creates dozens of personalities to compartmentalize his knowledge so he doesn't go crazy.
Aside from that my shelves are a hodge podge of comics, manga, martial arts books, and Taoist studies.
