Ahhh! A BOOK THREAD.
*tries not to explode*
Other books!
Patricia Biggs! Her new Mercy Thompson book just came out so its on my mind. And while I'm on the subject of Urban Fantasy, Rachel Caine writes some pretty sweet stuff.
Traditional Fantasy! :
Jennifer Roberson. I LOVE her Karavans and Sword series.
Jacqueline Carey: I feel like I judged her Kushiel books by their covers for a long time, and thats why I didn't read them. But SO GLAD I eventually picked Kushiel's Dart. Epic politics, action, and very character driven.
Robin Hobb: Ship of Magic trilogy!
Kate Elliott, Juliet Marillier, Lynn Flewelling, Dawn Cook/Kim Harrison, Diana Wynne Jones,... And the list goes on.
Random other books... I'm a huge Dostoevsky fan (The Idiot is a particular favorite of mine...), Hemingway (A Farewell to Arms), Fitzgerald (His short story A Diamond as Big as the Ritz), Andrew Davidson's The Gargoyle, Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabbler
... And so many others. But these are what spring to mind.

Her PotS series always struck a special cord with me. I also quite enjoyed Duane, though I really haven't read anything by her recently.
