Number 31 is Steven Erikson (hey, someone I've read!). Known primarily for his Malazan the Book of the Fallen series, Erikson is one of the names often dropped when it comes to those looking for epic fantasy that doesn't really fit in most people's understanding of such. His writing can be difficult to get into for some, but I think he's one of the more unique writers in all of fantasy at the moment. And he finished a ten book series rather quickly! I've heard the Malazan books described by some as like some anime series. Not sure I get that description, but I guess that comes from high powered characters fighting other high powered characters, which there is a lot of. I've only on Book 3 at the moment, but this is a world where "Ascendants" may come down to the regular world and wreak havoc a la the Greek gods. Sorcery is hurled and people travel and get magic through things called Warrens. I always highly recommend the series with a caveat: you may not like it. Typically, people either love Eriskon's writing or hate it. I personally love it. And as a side note: I think most writers should aspire to the same. Who wants to be seen as a "meh" writer? Go for broke, I say!
Any other thoughts on Steven Erikson?
Also an awesome bit of art someone did for the characters of Gardens of the Moon.
