Hard to pick one.
I like the original Mistborn trilogy. I also like the author's broader Cosmere work including Stormlight Archives.
I like Kingkiller Chronicles but the delay on the third book is messing that up.
I like The Lies of Locke Lamora quite a bit.
It's weird and I didn't think I would like it, but Kushiel's Dart was surprisingly good if one is not too squeamish. Honestly that might be my favorite- basically there's a kinky high-end courtesan who works with nobles and is actually a spy on them, using them for access to gather information, and she tries to protect her country from a crazy war. It's polarizing due to its graphic content.
A lot of the sci fi I've read is older stuff, like Asimov. I also like the works of Alastair Reynolds.
So glad to see another Sanderson fan. Mistborn and the the Stormlight Archives are incredible works!! I Just finished The Wise Man's Fear for the first time and feel fortunate I haven't had to wait a decade for the next book. Rumors are around that book 3 will be released this year!

The Hugo winners are great.
I read Foundation two weeks ago and now Dune.
It's still brilliant after so many decades.
My favourite show is still Babylon5, which to me is still the master piece that encapsulates most of the material I read.
Thank you for the fantasy recommendations. I all don't know them. Will move more into the genre after I'm through my scifi list.
