Just finished WOT, now what?
Discussion
Hmm; large number of books; fantasy epics.
The Saga of Recluce by L.E. Mordesitt Junior : 16 Books
The Sword of truth series by Terry Goodkind : 12 books
The Chronicles Of Amber by Roger Zelazny: 10 Books
Mazlan Book Of the Fallen: 10 Books
The Black Company by Glenn Cook: 10 Books
The only one I have actually read the whole lot of is The Chronicles of Amber because the whole 10 books come to about the same length as one WOT novel. Same goes for Glen Cooks stuff except it would be two WOT novels for him. Both of whom I would recommend but they are very different fantasy to WOT.

Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun Series.
Set in a far future Earth, not an easy read but can withstand several readings. Not the sort of book you can put down and come back to at a later date and pick up from where you left off.
He also has a series of books set in ancient Greece where the main character is a soldier in Xerxes' army who is wounded in battle and suffers from memory loss every time he sleeps. Each day he reads a scroll he carries telling him who he is. Again not an easy read, none of Wolfe's books are.

I can't recommend The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss highly enough, it has a fantastic magic system and its well paced.
There are 2 books out already with a third due this year and I think a fourth some time in the future which should wrap it all up.
I'm on book 9 of WoT at the minute, some of the books I've really had to drag myself through!

The Joe Abercrombie First Law Trilogy that starts with "the Blade Itself".
I just found his stuff recently and I loved it....though if you have the option I would HIGHLY recommend getting the Audiobook read by Steven Pacey, he does a superb version to the point where you don't need the x character said this and y character said that....you can tell all the different people in the book apart just from the really distinctive voices he gives to each one. I am just listening to the latest one, "red Country" in the car at the moment and I am really enjoying it.
