What's a "good", recent, book?

While it may not be recent, a good series of books that i am working on right now ( now on the fifth and final one) is the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. They are a thrilling escape into a fantastic world full of danger, suspense, action, and adventure. I strongly recomend these books for their enthralling captivity into the realm of one of the best literary novels ever conceived.
