Raymond E Feist and Terry Brooks.
Mr Feist because his work tends to be written for grown ups. The "serpent war" series of books is the best series Ive read.
Terry Brooks is a little predictable (I get a little sick of small parties finding/invoking magic item to destroy enemy army just as its about to kill all the goodies). But hes still entertaining. The reaper is an awesome character. Dont like the latest "Knight of the Word" series as much, but its still a good read.

I cant stand Tolkein. It tends to be written for a much younger age group and he waffles too much. I loved the hobbit and lord of the rings when I was 11 or so but I cant get through an entire page anymore.
I am really looking forward to watching the movies though especially since its mostly a New Zealand production.
