I've only read two "high fantasy" series - the Thomas Covenant series by Stephen R Donaldson (loved the first trilogy, wished I'd not read the second one) and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. I really got hooked on the first books in the WOT series, but that series bogged down in a major way. I stopped reading about book 8 or 9.
Most of my "fantasy" is urban fantasy (werewolves, vampires, fae) - if you have any interest at all in that, Patricia Briggs is my absolute favorite. She does more typical fantasy, too, which is in my TBR pile, but I haven't read any yet.
My science fiction tastes are more along the line of science fiction romance, although not all of it.
I like Kristine Kathryn Rusch's Retrieval Artist series (it's really a police procedural set on the moon). I enjoy Linnea Sinclair's space operas (which are also romances, although some are stronger than others). I think she excels at the strong, yet "spunky" heroine.
