I want to jump in here as the new kid and say that I have found myself utterly enthralled by the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson. Ten books long, and nine of them have already been released with the tenth coming this spring, so those who only read complete series need not wait long!
The first book is Gardens of the Moon, and by the time it was over I was unable to wait to get the next one, I had to have it in my hands the same day. I bought the next five on the shopping trip after that, so they're all lined up waiting for me. After three books, so far, I still can't get enough. Gritty fantasy set in a historical-style world where everything is connected and the Old Gods are coming out to play... I think it's everything that MEAT is looking for, and the rest of you may enjoy it as well!
I'm also jotting down some of the suggestions that others have made, because I'm always looking for new things to read.
