Wow ! Thanks for all the replies. Well I was swayed and have the first three books of Malazan sitting here with me. ( dying to get started) and another my wife picked out because I was just a little short of getting free shipping...It's called Wit'ch Fire by James Clemens...I started with it cause the first Malazan book shipped later than the rest and I couldn't wait a couple extra days to start reading.
Wit'ch Fire is a nice read, it's no Donaldson but it's entertaining. The only thing that is annoying is the overuse of apostrophes, the guy loves breaking words and names up with them...but I guess that's his style.
Also I do have some Eddings. I have The First Book of The Elder Gods series, The Book of The Dreamers...Got it in HB for $5 at Wal-Mart's bargain bin. I started reading it, but I felt like I was reading a kid's book and couldn't shake that from my mind the whole time and just couldn't get into it...perhaps I'll try it again later...
But who am I kidding? I'm just killing time until Fatal Revenant comes out, I want that book so bad it's driving me nuts...

Brian: Who cured you?
Ex-Leper: Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! "You're cured, mate." Bloody do-gooder.
Brian: Well, why don't you go and tell him you want to be a leper again?
Ex-Leper: Uh, I could do that sir, yeah. Yeah, I could do that I suppose. What I was thinking was I was going to ask him if he could make me a bit lame in one leg during the middle of the week. You know, something beggable, but not leprosy, which is a pain in the @$$ to be blunt and excuse my French, sir.

Definately avoid with prejudice the Elder Gods,Luke. Uggghhh!! I read (painfully) the first book of the Elder Gods,by far the worst book series by the Eddings team ever!! I had no real desire to pick up the rest of the stories. I tried really hard to get into that series and it just wasn't working for me..........
