My favourite book has to be LotR. Easily.
But David Eddings' stuff is top notch too.
The Old Kingdom Series is something I don't think I've ever seen mentioned, that's a good fantasy read.
Paolini and Pratchett get mentions, the former was influenced by the above and it clearly shows. The latter does something different in tone so I can't really put him in the same boat as the others.
Currently I've picked up the first of the Mistborn books, anyone have opinions on those?

I've read some of pratchets books but I don't like them, I find they don't paint a good picture in my head and often the stories are confusing
