Just got finished with The Shadow Rising, book four of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series. Jordan really knows how to wrap you up in the story - the whole Two Rivers saga with Perrin and Faile was extremely intense. One of my favorite parts of Jordan's writing is that he'll have two or three different threads going at any one time, and as soon as he jumps from one storyline to another, I typically get really pissed, because the one storyline was just starting to get good. Inevitably, after a chapter or so, I'm totally engrossed in the new storyline again.

I think my favorite scene in the whole epic saga is when Mat, still weakened from finally being separated from the Shadar Logoth dagger, beats the crap out of Galad and Gawyn with a "stick" (really, a quarterstaff) in Tar Valon.
