Soooo. I said The Administration Series, right. That's the main thing I wanted to name. I've gushed about it here, so I'll spare you now. ;) Other stuff:
Fantasy ... I loved Robin Hobb's Farseer- and Tawny Man-series. The former took me three attempts to get into, then I devoured the books pretty much in one go and went on to Fool-- a sequel of sorts, which is also slashy to no end (it's arguably canon).
George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series -- fantasy that is nothing like Tolkien, in a good way. Politics, excellent characterisation, long. The first book is less than five quid on amazon uk atm.
I may be back with more later. It's very, very interesting to see what people are recommending here; may steal some of those for myself. ;)
