Well, I don't know what you've read. But I would suggest anything by link, especially the Disc World series-- very funny stuff. link is also brilliant. He wrote Stardust, which was made into a movie a year or so ago, and he also wrote Coraline (which was turned into a movie that came out this year). But he's also written things like American Gods, Anansi Boys, and Neverwhere.

For a book by both Pratchett AND Gaiman (two brilliant minds working together), I'd recommend link, a comedy about the apocalypse, a pair of unlikely friends (a demon and an angel), and a misplaced Antichrist.

I'd also suggest Philip Pullman's link series, which is very popular. The first one was made into a movie which was released a year and a half ago.

As for more obscure writers, Australian author Isobelle Carmody has a fantastic series called link.

I hope at least one of these recommendations were helpful for you. I don't really know SPECIFICALLY what type of fantasy you're interested in, so I tried to provide a sample of a few different types (Comedy, Adventure, Magic, etc) for you to sift through.

*votes His Dark Materials* It could be my favourite fantasy series of all time, it's certainly the most creative and symbolic and imaginative (yes I'm saying this over Harry Potter which I admit to reading each HP book so many times I lost count when I was 10)

I just finished book 2 of the mortal instruments trilogy, and they were awesome. If you don't mind a little inapropriateness then these are great. By Cassandra Clare.

Maximum Ride is awesome ... not exactly a fantasy book, but I am a fantasy addict and they are one of my favorite series. James Patterson.

My namesake (in a way) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Next book comes out in 4 or 5 days. *SCREAMS* Sorry.

Anything by Cornelia Funke.

Percy Jackson - Whatshisname (Sorry :)

The original wizard of OZ, and the Wicked books by Gergory MAguire.

And last but not least, Books of EMber and Septimus Heap.

ok so Hunger Games isn't really fantasy it is more science fiction(but that doesn't take away from its total awesomeness!!!)

1) The Immortals Series by Alyson Noel is a good series. They're short books, like most of these, but I really did enjoy them. It's like a vampire tale, but about a more independent girl, who's a junkie and a semi-alcoholic, but gets past it with her love.

2) The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod by Heather Brewer. Okay, first off, they're childrens books BUT they're really good. I didn't think I'd like them. I thought that they'd just be another teen-vampire-love story, but it's not necessarily a love story. It's about a boy who's parents died, and he's a vampire, living with his aunt Nelly. He's supposedly the Pravus, which is the vampire hybrid who's destiny is to end the human race and rule over all vampire-kind, and how he puts a stop to his destiny... that and how pretty much everyone is trying to kill him.

3) The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith. DO NOT WATCH THE TV SHOW! I REPEAT, DO NOT WATCH THE TV SHOW! The books are nothing like what the show portrays them as. If anything, they keep the names and the setting and vampire plot. The series is about this golden girl who lives with her aunt and sister, and finds herself becoming less and less selfish and more and more revolving around someone else who she's so incredibly intrigued by and falling for that she gives up everything for him... until Damon interferes.

4) The Blue is for Nightmares series by Laurie Stolarz is also a good book. This is about a girl, Stacey, who is going to a prep boarding school. She has two roomates; Drea and Amber. Years ago, Stacey had preminitions of a little girl she was like a sister to being killed. Her mother, telling her to ignore them, ended up more wrong than Stacey could handle. Maura was killed, where, how, and when her nightmares told her. When her nightmares start telling her things about Drea's death, she cannot ignore her dreams anymore. Even if that means her secret getting out. Even if it means losing Drea in another way.

5) Wake, Fade, and soon, Gone. What can I say other than that I love these books with a passion. They're about a girl, named Janie who when around someone sleeping falls into their dreams. Even the nastiest, most terrifying nightmares. She works at a nursing home (seems like a stupid job since a lot of the time, older people are sleeping) where she falls into this one guys nightmares, and always seems to be seen, seizing on the floor (an affect of her nightmares). When Cabel, a seemingly disgruntled teen, (really an undercover drug buster) comes along, she falls into the worst nightmares of them all; his. And to what do they contain? Her death. When it turns out they're not about him killing her, but how he doesn't want her dying, she falls completely and irreversably in love with him. But this is later affected when she realizes how her life will likely ruin his.
