I think The Kingkiller Chronicles, by Patrick Rothfuss, though they are not yet finished, are the absolute cream of the crop.
Go.

I've read all of those but the Dresden Files and The Black Company Books; our tastes seem similar.
I would take a look at "The Lies of Lock Lamora" by Scott Lynch. It's part of an unfinished series, but each is a stand alone book. If you like it (or don't) let me know...!
With that said, I'm just as interested in hearing what everyone else is reading (within reason, it might make sense to move this talk to Off-Topic if that becomes the dominant discussion). I'm not trying to approach this from 'atop a pedestal' if that makes any sense..? I suggest something, somebody else does, then somebody else- I mean, it's a discussion. I've recommended tLoLL, but there are lots of great suggestions in the thread. That's just my opinion...!
