I highly recommend the Robert Jordan novels for quality fantasy fiction buffs. An epic tale still in work spreading almost a dozen books, and characters with such vivid personalities, you feel as if you've met them.
I read the first 3 or so of those. Not a bad series. It's hard to be original in such a media swamped world. He does a good job of bringing some new ideas to the table as far as fantasy realms go.
There are two series of books that deal with King Arthur and Excalibur that I really enjoyed. A Dream of Eagles written by Jack Whyte(he's a Canadian Author) is a 6 book series that is a work of fiction but it uses a historicle background. Basicly it takes the Excalibur story and puts it in the Roman Empire time, right after it falls.
The other series is Bernard Cornwell's the Warlord Chronicles. It is a 3 book read but it is awsome. It puts a different twist into the Arthur series because in it Arthur never becomes a king, and Lancelot is the bad guy 
Awsome books
