Update #Whatever
So I finished The Name of the Wind, which was fantastic. Really. I hear the second book is pretty good, but not up to that.
Read:
1. The Terror - Simmons
2. Ready Player One - Cline
3. Mistborn Trilogy
4. Starmaker
5. Swan Song
6. Wool
7. Name of the Wind
(what a good year of reading)
So the quetion is, do I start Way of Kings, which I did get for Christmas... or do I go for the next Kingkiller? It seems I have some years to finish both (although Kingkiller's next should be this year or 2016), but still... I might read them at the same time depending on the density of Stormlight. Thoughts?

Which would you recommend I read first, Swan Song or The Stand? I haven't read a lot of the genre, or of King in general for that matter, but I've never seen a bad review of either so I'm ready to start one on my trip in a few weeks.

What did you end up choosing? I have tried to get into Way of Kings about 3 times now and couldn't do it. Finally finished Gardens of the Moon (Book 1 of the Malazan Book of the Fallen). I thought it was okay. The writing is unclear as hell to me and often just oozed inexperience and poor craftsmanship. Particularly the beginning.
About to start the Magicians, though I am not excited about books 2 and 3. Book 1 seems interesting, but the synopses of books 2 and 3 makes me very skeptical.
What I am excited about is:
The third and final book in the Raven's Shadow Series comes out July, 2015. (Blood Song, Tower Lord, and now, Queen of Fire). Author: Anthony Ryan
and
Book 4 in the Gentlemen Bastards Sequence comes out September, 2015 (The Lies of Locke Lamora, Red Seas Under Red Skies, The Republic of Thieves, and now, The Thorn of Emberlain). Author: Scott Lynch

Has anyone recommended The Malazan series by Erikson yet?
How about Chronicles of The Black Company by Cook?
The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks was really good.
For a bit of Genre busting Horror, try The Necroscope series by Brian Lumley.
