God can a nerd forum just once go without mentioning this series? Well written, even interesting for a bit, that series is vastly overrated. As the series progresses (the fourth book in particular) starts to fall prey to the regular Fantasy tropes. There's a reason the 4th and 5th books have taken so long." A Song of Ice and Fire - series is fantastic......if it ever CONTINUES!!!
Since I'm already in the realm of Dark Fantasy I'll go ahead and recommend Chronicles of the Black Company aka The Books of the North by Glen Cook.
The Book of the New Sun series by Gene Wolfe starting with Shadow & Claw which is the first two books (of 4) in one book.
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. Don't bother with the movie, which doesn't follow the book so much as take inspiration from the book.
