Well, here are a couple I don't think have been mentioned: Screen Name Send a noteboard - 11/09/2009 09:46:21 AM
The Dresden Files (Jim Butcher, if you want to know more check his site)
The Furies of Calderon (also Jim Butcher, I freaking love this man.)
Furies is a High Fantasy. Haven't read it, but hear it's good.

TDF is an urban fantasy that, coming from a man with serious issues when it comes to urban fantasy, absolutely loves this whole series.

If you are looking for more high fantasy, that is well written, try The Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon (whole trilogy compiled) or The Rhapsody Trilogy by Elizabeth Haydon (not really a trilogy, there are more books after the first trilogy, also quite good I think)

If you still need more... sorry. :)
