What's this? A chance to promote my favourite authors? Joy!!
Jane Lindskold - fairly new author I've picked up - bought the first one on a whim, now have gone through three. (Through Wolf's Eyes; Wolf's Head, Wolf's Heart; Dragon of Despair)
Terry Pratchett - funny, fairly light, makes you think. I second the recommendation. I own every single Discworld book except the most recent one, which hasn't come out in softcover yet. And I've read each one at least 3 times, some of them 10+. Awesome author. Plenty of material, as there's 25+ Discworld books, as well as his other works, which are also golden.
Steven Brust - fantastic - interesting magic system, interesting society, great writer, especially in the literary sense. He's my favourite writer in the world at least 55% of the time. Check out the Vlad Taltos books (Jhereg, Yendi, Teckla, Taltos, Phoenix, Athyra, Orca, Dragon, Issola). Another great series of his - same world but earlier in history, is the Khaavren Romances (Phoenix Guards, Five Hundred Years After, Paths of the Dead, Lord of Castle Black, Sethra Lavode).
