If you're after recs, you might try the
AW Bookclub; you might get more of a response there, especially if you put down a few more parameters (maybe a few definitely-nots or tried-and-hated).
As for my personal faves, a lot depends on my mood and why I'm reading. As a random scattershot sampling:
For nostalgia, I still love Tad Williams's
Tailchaser's Song. For epic fantasy, I enjoyed TW's
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy as well as his
Shadowmarch quartet, and I've liked the first three books of GRRM's ASoFaI (Book 4's in the TBR pile, though I hear mixed reviews as the tale goes on.) Gary Paulsen's
Hatchet (and
Brian's Winter and
Brian's Return) helped me through a tough time in my life, and I still revisit them now and again. I still have the entire
Animorphs series. I greatly enjoyed Jonathan Stroud's
Bartimaeus books. Terry Pratchett almost never fails to amuse. Naomi Novik created a great alternate-history world in her
Temeraire novels (though I found the finale somewhat unsatisfying.)
