Dresden Files are pretty neat. Um, Watership Down is a very WEIRD book, but the style is almost similar, I think. 'Been a while since I've read it.
Let's see. I don't really care for Stephen King, but one of his books I actually did like was Eye of the Dragon. It's written like a fairy tale.
If you like Sci-Fi, Michael Crichton is great. Not really like WoT in any way, but worth mentioning.
OOH! The Bartimaeus Trilogy is awesome. A bit of a lower level read, but very good! Quite clever, and very humorous for fantasy books.
Same with the Abhorsen books.

Hope that helps. Not sure if you've read any of them.
The Dresden books are about a wizard in modern days, and the detective work he does. Watership Down is about rabbits and their epic journey to find a new home. The Bartimaeus books are about a witty demon and the youthful wizard that summoned him. The Abhorsen books have an interesting setting: there are two countries, seperated by a wall. On one side of the wall, it's the modern age. On the other, there is magic; modern inventions do not work.

Could one of our dilligent admins sticky this thread,please? Had to crawl an awful lot to get to it.
Just finished reading Howl's Moving Castle...even though I saw the animation and I loved the book more. Currently tackling Kafka on the shore by Haruki Murakami.

Here,Here! (in relation to the sticky,of course) I'm finding Kafka a breeze though, the suspense of each story and wondering how all of them are intertwined to each other...the kind of book that makes you wonder whether you're crazy for understanding all these things.
Its injected with humour too. Which police officer would believe you If you told them that you killed Johnnie Walker.

Was thinking about tackling it next but if you say its your sankaime time around, I will look forward to it. He also wrote a non-fic on the Tokyo subway Sarin gas attacks as well. Would like to see how he handled that because some authors are great at fiction but non-fics fail them.
Kafka is something else, I recommend it even though its my first read. Any authors you like besides Haruki?
