There are some amazing suggestions in here so I'll echo a couple of them - but here's where I stand at the moment:
Fantasy:
- The Name of the Wind - Patrick Rothfuss (first of a series)
- Anything by China Mieville. He's my favourite author and I'll devour anything he comes up with, couldn't recommend him enough.
- Tigana - Guy Gavriel Kay (truly astounding)
- Raymond Feist - Magician, Silverthorn, Darkness at Sethanon, Daughter of the Empire, Servant of the Empire, Mistress of the Empire. The last three are with Janny Wurts. There's more books but for me I didn't really get much joy from anything after these 6 books.
- Jay Lake - Mainspring
Sci Fi:
Iain Banks - start with Consider Phlebas (wow) and then just keep reading forever.
Orson Scott Card - Enders series
Connie Willis - Doomsday Book (my favourite time travel book so far)
Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash, Diamond Age, Cryptonomicron (haven't read his others but I will)
When it comes to Sci-Fi/Fantasy I could just go on and on and on. But there's plenty of time for that.
Regards
Caleb
