I have read very little fantasy because they seem to be so often Tolkien rip-offs (I have read Hitch-hikers, Narnia and Pratchett) but although a lot of the names and concepts are clearly Tolkien inspired, I have just read and really enjoyed "Eragon" by Christopher Paolini. It has a gripping plot even if Alagaesia is not as richly drawn as Middle Earth.
