@piloteer I reckon the best fictioal writer of all time is got to be God. he wrote the Bible which has the most wildesr fictional stories made up and no one else could of dreamed up. He is a true master and also. Beat this. Even God is fictional. I actually went to the religious book store to get a signed copy but the writer didnt turn up.

Brandon Sanderson is absolutely incredible. I could not put down the Mistborn trilogy when I started reading it, swallowing over 2,000 pages within a couple of weeks. I have never seen such mastery in intertwining multiple plot lines, where until the very last moment you have no idea what the fate of any of the characters is going to be, where you run across a serious plot twist over and over again and never feel full.

I would also name Patrick Rothfuss as the first two entries in the Kingkiller Chronicles are the stuff of legends... Unfortunately, the guy became a slacker once popularity hit him, and I doubt he will ever finish the third book at this point.

Just read the first two chapters of Mistborn. Lord ruler, falling ash, bizarre phenomenon, I'm hooked.

If you haven't read anything by Joe Abercrombie I suggest you do. Just finished the guardian trilogy. Start with "The Blade Itself".

It only gets better from there. My personal favorite is the second book, but the entire series is incredible.

And thank you for the recommendation! I have heard a lot about Abercrombie's books; will try to get to them when the job search ends.
