If you like the fantasy genre try:

Wheel of time series by Robert Jordan

Magician by Raymond E Feist and then work your way through the rest of his related books.

The name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss

The dark tower series by Stephen King

If you like King, having read every single one of his books multiple times, my favs are It, Insomnia, Firestarter, the Stand, the Green Mile, Doctor Sleep.

As far as non fantasy goes, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is worth a read

Some good calls there

Name of the wind is class.

I found feist decent but not a patch on Salvatore.
