I have read the entire Wheel of Time series, Fire and Ice series and Sword of Truth series. Is there another series that you would recommend?

Dark Tower by Stephen King!!! After that, or instead of that, the Well of Eternity Trilogy by Richard A. Knaak - involves Warcraft lore, so if you're not up to speed then not as interesting.
-
David Eddings' Belgariad and Malloreon (2 different series, same characters, Belgariad comes first). Same sort of epic fantasy, and it manages to be deadly serious as well as ridiculously funny (in my opinion). After six or seven times straight through (and it's 10 books long!) I still laugh out loud. Don't bother with Eddings' other series, though; they aren't nearly as good.

I second the Belgariad, also check out Belgarath's life story when he was young, ''Belgarath the Sorcerer''. I would also suggest Fred Saberhagen's Book of the Swords trilogy and Book of Lost Swords, if you like ''darker'' fantasy. Cutting off your toes and feeding them to a baby dragon, how badass is that? XD

Memory Sorrow and Thorn. great series. its The Dragon Bone Chair, I Cant remember the name of the next book,(Sorry) then To Green Angel Tower part 1 and 2
-
Terry Brooks "Shannara" and "Landover" series.
-
Tad Williams "Memory, Sorrow, & Thorn" is at the top of my all time favorite list also.

Dark Tower series. I couldn't post this as a comment under ryanwareham's answer for some reason, even though I was well under the character limit. Sorry about that! It's not a horror series, if that's what you're asking in ryanwareham's answer Phillip. Yes, it is good and it is weird. I got hooked on it from the first book (The Gunslinger). It's kind of a combination of Western, Fantasy, Mystery, and SciFi genres. You have to read it to understand. The setting is kind of post-apocalyptic, but the world just seems to have run down instead of perished in some violent manner. It's a story about a long quest by Roland to find the "Dark Tower" in order to restore the world. Check out this link: http://www.stephenking.com/darktower/ Personally, after getting so involved in the series (and I was hooked), I thought the ending in the 7th book was a huge disappointment. But you can decide that for yourself.

Eric Flint's "1632" series. It's one of the masterpieces of alternate history. I would also recommend Harry Turtledove's "Worldwar"/"Colonization"/"Homeward Bound" series. And then there's Anne and Todd McCaffrey's "Pern" series, one of the greatest of all time.

well, it's been awhile since you asked this question, but have you ever tried the Kings Blade books, by Dave Duncan? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Duncan_%28writer%29#King.27s_Blades I just read "Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss and love it--guaranteed to write the 2nd book before we see a sequel to Feast for Crows... although I do love Martin.
