Fantasy is my jam. The hottest kid on the block at the moment (deservedly, or not, depending who you ask) is Patrick Rothfuss and his Kingkiller Chronicles. Although, the 3rd of the trilogy has been long awaited with no release in sight. If your willing to read 2 and wait for the 3rd, I personally highly recommend it. Brent Weeks' Night Angel Trilogy is fantastic, if you like "dark fantasy". So is the Mistborn series.. Another decent one is The Lies of Loch Lamora, I forget the author. I have plenty more.. But highly recommend going to Goodreads and spending some time searching there. They've gone beyond "Fantasy" and have several sub-genres to help narrow the search. Other fiction, non-fantasy books, I can't say. I almost exclusively read fantasy.
