First give Lord of the Rings a try (if you do not want to buy it, every library has it (if your's does not, change the library!)).
if you like that kind of grand epiclike scope you surely will enjoy Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series, and Wheel of time, although they are not that highstyled as LOT (but which other book can claim to be at this level of telling)
if LOT is to heavy and slowpaced try Salvatore and Moorcock (although he's a bit unusual (see Djinn Raffo))
An alternative between pace and scope and quite good is the Deathgate Cycle (at least I think it's called that in English, only read the German translation, please correct me if I'm wrong, it's that with Sartan and Patryn and so on ) from Weis and Hickham.

But LOT is the measure for it (in my opinion)
