GOT falls under the fantasy genre I believe, and it's really good.

I agree with Synthe. I just started the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series and it's amazing. I was hooked after the prologue.

I heard that pretty much any book from Terry Pratchett is great.

Yeah the first 3 Sword of Truth novels I really enjoyed. I especially liked the inverted imagery, the villain lives in an all white castle, etc, etc.

it's more along sci fi lines, but terry pratchett's "long earth" series has been treating me right lately.

Dean Koontz is another awesome fantasy/sci fi author. I've read quite a few of his novels and am rarely disappointed. If your looking for a series he does a good take on Frankenstein.
