I found a new site that gave me some inspiration on what to read:
http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/

The site has a lot of top 10 books in different sub-genres like:
* Historical fantasy
* High/Epic fantasy
* Contemporary/Urban
* Steampunk
* Young adult
* Science Fantasy
* Comic fantasy

I like the fact that each sub-genre comes with a definition.

Each entry also comes with a short intro. Here's the Top 10 Heroic/Sword & Sorcery fantasy:
  1. A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson
  2. Once Walked With Gods by James Barclay
  3. The Macht by Paul Kearney
  4. The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb
  5. War with the Mein by David Anthony Durham
  6. The Lightbringer Trilogy by Brent Weeks
  7. The Ascendants of Estorea by James Barclay
  8. The Tawny Man by Robin Hobb
  9. Chronicles of the Raven by James Barclay
  10. Chronicles of the Black Company by Glen Cook
