can anyone recommend some really good fantasy books?

i'm having a bit of a renaissance with this genre at the moment after not reading any for years (mainly due to the dearth of quality and abundance of formulaic trash that cluttered up the shelves of the sci-fi/fantasy section of the book shops)

i'm currently reading the following excellent series:

a song of ice & fire - george martin - dark and gripping with more twists than m night shyamalan's entire career (up to a feast of crows at the moment)

the malazan book of the fallen series - steven erikson - epic, complex, and startingly original and thoroughly enjoyable (only read the first two books so far)

so any others i should be adding to my library reservations list?
