Try the Belgariad series by David Eddings. The characters are very well drawn and there are several very strong female characters.
The first book is Pawn of Prophecy. Or you may want to start with one of the overview books like Polgara the Sorceress.
You also may want to check out Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradly. And the Doomsday book by Connie Willis

If your looking for a cool fantasy series, then I would suggest The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. The tenth book in the series comes out this month. The books are about a wizard that lives in Chicago. Though it is a modern setting it really is a coll series. All of the books have different types of bad guys. Such as Werewolves and Vampires, and then of course you have the fairies of summer and winter. The stories are always action packed, but unlike most stories of it's type the author actually managed to create a character that you actually to care about. Also if your not into the modern setting then Jim Butcher is also the author of another series called the Codex Alera. The Codex Alera is about a young man named Tavi. Everyone in the world of Alera has Furies, elemental creatures, that grant them magical powers. Tavi is the only living human known that has none. I hope this helped.

The Darkest potential via Kelley Armstrong, it 3 books some youthful necromancer, a werewolf, a sorcerer, a witch, a ghost and a 0.5 demon. Your examining from the extra youthful necro in the e book and she or he actually scared to dying of her powers and that they are bit extra greater then that of the conventional necro. With one thought she will advance the lifeless. The Darkness increasing via Kelley Armstrong the 1st one is out it a kinda of small hyperlink between the Necro e book and the Skinwalker e book this is all all of us understand so a procedures is regarding the lost skills slowly being extra returned in the time of the scientist. I examine the abode of nighttime books and that they are slightly lame particularly with the entire twin ingredient being repeated like numerous 4 or 8 pages and it continually jogged my memory of a failed tried of a Fred and George from Harry Potter. i might subject giving the 1st e book of the Morganville vampire a attempt because of the fact it some city that fairly has a school top around the corner. particularly some the college pupils disappear in no thank you to be considered returned yet of direction they are only the conventional of scholars that are skimmed in someways off the terrific. city has vampire that fairly come out at nighttime the older the vampire the longer you are able to stand in the sunlight. however the 1st e book starts off with the lady Claire and having problems installation into college. See her issue is she kinda of a freak she overly smart and persons do not in all probability get that along with her. It starts off off along with her getting bullied and particularly lots she is tension to look for off college abode which places her extra into city. There a average romance notwithstanding it does not fairly seem in this e book.

I really can't tell your age from your reading list, so my recommendations are all over the spectrum. I enjoy kids fantasy, young adult fantasy and adult fantasy simultaneously so I'll recommend all sorts.
I would ditto the recommendation for Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Piers Anthony's Xanth books are great too. Though depending on why you didn't like Hitchhiker's Guide you might not like them. They all have a quirky humor and sometimes Discworld gets as bizarre as Douglas Adams, but to better purpose and more sense.
You might like Shannon Hale as well, she wrote Princess Academy (Newbery Honor Book) Goose Girl, Enna Burning and River Secrets. Personally, I think Enna Burning is her best written work.
Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted is very good, but that's the only one of hers that I really enjoy.
Have you tried Jane Yolen's books? She has a number of fantasy works. I haven't read them but they get recommended a lot. Same with Diane Duane's Wizardry series.
Diana Wynn-Jones' Chrestomanci books are suppossed to be good. They're on my reading list. So I haven't read them either.
The best fantasy I've read recently has been Brandon Sanderson's Elantris. It was absolutely fantastic, but it is more for adults rather than children or young adults. I have not read Mistborn yet (his second book) but I haven't heard anything bad about it.
I don't know if it is counted as fantasy, but if you like Alex Rider you might want to check out the Jimmy Coates series. It has two books so far (the second one just came out).
Sylvia Engdahl writes science fiction with fantasy elements (especially Enchantress from the Stars--it reads like science fiction from one character's perspective and fantasy from another's, it is a very interesting and well done juxtaposition).
Robin Hobb's got some interesting books. I read the Tawny Man trilogy and it was good. Not fantastic, but not horrible. The Farseer Trilogy is a prequel series to the Tawny man trilogy but I read the second trilogy and understood it fin without reading the first. Her newest trilogy the Soldier Son trilogy has two books out so far. I read the first one, haven't read the second one.
T.A. Barron's Lost Years of Merlin series might interest you.
Check with your local library to see if they have a subscription to NoveList--you can search for a title you like and then have it search for similar titles using similar subject terms.

Try the series by Jeanne DuPrau starting with City of Ember,
Eragon and Eldest by Paolini, and the Shadow Children ( I can't remember the author)- these are really short, but sooo good!

Bronwyn, by Ron Miller
Lords of Swords, edit. by D. Blackston
I've included links to reviews I have written for both. Ron is a Hugo-award winning artist and writer. Lords of Swords includes short stories by award-winning fantasy writers such as Tanith Lee.

Go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Do a search of the books you've read and see what other people who purchased your favorite books have bought and read. Most of the people who are passionate about books take the time to write reviews or even post reading lists of their favorites.

I think that you would like, Seven Deadly Wonders, by Matthew Reilly, and Jeanne DuPrau's books, they aren't super long, but they are very good. Also, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, it's a different book, but I LOVED it.
