I agree with some of these (Robin Hobb, for example) and some others are new to me so I'll look them up. But I have to strongly disagree about Pillars of the Earth. I'm reading it right now and am really not enjoying it. Follett's style is banal, his characters are one-dimensional and the only reason I'm persisting with it is because I want to find out if they ever finish the cathedral.
