...the Kushiel series by Jacqueline Carey (though the series is yet to be finished)...
Is finished. I did read Kushiels Mercy last year. And I second the rec.
The "Dresden Files" series by Jim Butcher, the "Codex Alera" series by the same author.
For those who have not yet read them, "The Belgariad", and "The Malloreon" series with the add ons "Belgarath the Sorcerer", and "Polgara the Sorceress", "The Elenium", and "The Tamuli" trilogies, all by David Eddings. But keep away from his latest work.
The "Temperance Brennan novels" by Kathy Reichs are pretty good, as is the "Bartimäus" trilogy by Stroud.
The "Artemis Fowl" books by Colfer, of course.
I like the "Mrs. Murphy" mysteries by Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown, even if the series has started to get a bit tired by now.
The "Kay Scarpetta" books by Patricia Cornwell are worth a read too, but her series, as the one mentioned above, gets repetitive with time.
But I do disagree about "Pillars of the Earth" and especially about "World without End" by Follet. Not bad books, even the second one, but not truly good ones either, and the second falls short of the first by a good deal.
