I have a recommendation for you that is not on the lists in the blog (it should be in place of LeGuin).
Drenai Saga 01 - Legend by David Gemmell.

Druss, Captain of the Axe, was the stuff of legends. But even as the stories grew in the telling, Druss himself grew older. He turned his back on his own legend and retreated to a mountain lair to await his old enemy, death. Meanwhile, barbarian hordes were on the march. Nothing could stand in their way. Druss reluctantly agreed to come out of retirement. But could even Druss live up to his own legends?

I have read this and it's most enjoyable.
