"Guy Gavriel Kay. Pretty much anything, but The Fionavar Tapestry is a good starting point." - Yes yes yes!! Totally agree. Amazing series.
"Read George RR Martins' Song of Ice and Fire series (follow the tag in my blog to see how much I gush about this damn thing). The first book is Game of Thrones, and he has 4 books written in it so far. It is...addicting. Completely and utterly..." - See above. This is one of the most amazing book series that I have ever, ever read.
"Seconded by a billion to start with Sandman if you're looking for both a good start to Gaiman and graphic novels..." - Thirded, oh-so-much!
"If you like Pratchett: the Discworld books (they do start a touch slow, totally worth the slight slowness of the first three books)..." - I have read every single book in that series, some of them many times over, and Pratchett never fails to amaze me.
Also try The Belgariad and the Mallorean series' by David (And Leigh, I think!) Eddings.
And finally, 'Wicked' and 'Confessions Of An Ugly Stepsister' by Gregory Maguire. Well worth the read.
