Books nine and ten are really a step down in the series. Books 1-6 are easily the best and most epic fantasy fiction I have ever read.
I am a big science fiction fan, but I like the classics best; Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clark, Jules Verne, George R.R. Martin (I have said it before and I will say it again: the most underrated science fiction author of our age), Ursula K. Leguin, etc. I like fantasy, too, but I don't go out of my way to read fantasy authors the way I do certain science fiction authors.
If you like historical fiction, read anything and everything by Sharon Kay Penman. Her books really bring characters and settings to life. Falls the Shadow and When Christ and His Saints Slept are two of the best novels I have ever read.
For humor, Dave Barry is the only name you need to know. Every single one of his books is wall-to-wall laughs. I own every book he has published except for the newest one and I have read them AT LEAST 20 times each. His first novel, Big Trouble, was good and his second novel, Tricky Business, was fantastic. Another great humorist is Peter Devries; read Without a Stitch in Time.
