For me it was George R.R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones". Before that book I had read about 2 fantasy books a year, which included The Hobbit, LOTR's and some Magic: The Gathering books.
However, Martin opened my eyes to a whole new world. I didn't know that books could be so exciting and for a long time I was always comparing other authors to him.
