Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen. 9 of the 10 books are out now so you don't have to wait 10 years to finish it.

For a single novel, maybe Elantris by Brandon Sanderson.

I guess I should mention George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series although there are at least 3 more books not yet finished.

The problem I see with "modern" high fantasy is they have become these 10 book epics that take a decade or more to finish.
