Not fantasy, but I'm also reading The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. It is good, so far.
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clark. Amazing stand-alone novel that departs from the typical fantasy style.
I started that one once, but I found the whole beginning to be excrutiatingly boring.
(My brother, who loved it, claimed it's supposed to be boring in the beginning, but I don't think that's a valid excuse, and certainly not a good strategy to get me to read a book of almost 800 pages.)
Can anyone recommend me something that is more character led than situation led? a book that can bring the characters to heart long before I care about the plot?
ps: the "top 10" don't count. I have done the usual Tolkien, J.K rowling, Terry Pratchett etc. Throw me a curve ball
That said, if you throw me a dud, I WILL hunt you down on these forums hehe xx

Dan Abnett's Triumff was fun.
