I'm more a fan of DeLillo, Pynchon, Follett, etc and generally prefer reality to fantasy, but I figure there must be something I like that's within the genre. I absolutely cannot stand harry potter or twilight, or stories where a high-school wizard comes into his powers. I love multiplots, complexity is good, something not completely cliched. I've read lord of the rings and a game of thrones (debating if I should continue or wait till the rest come out), but nothing beyond those.

I've heard of Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind but haven't looked too hard into either of them. Would they be a good place to go next, or if not, then what?
