Would also recommend:

The Painted Man, followed by Desert Spear

Bartimaeus Trilogy,

Simon Scarrow's Roman books.

Mark Robson's books. - Imperial trilogy and also the series beginning with the "Forging of the sword".

And Belgariad series, first book being Pawn of the Prophecy.

I like fiction :p

I've read the Bartimaeus Trilogy (very good), but can you tell me if any of those books  are similar to The Way of Shadows? I've had a bit urge to read books based around a young child that grows up and becomes a badass. Do any of the books you've listed fall under that description? I'd rather not fall back on my backlog of horror novels and autobiographies if I can find a good life spanning epic to read.

I would seriously recommend Painted Man, it's alot like Way of Shadows in many perspectives, I even found it better in parts! If possible, it's got even more soft-eye-porn in it than the Way of Shadows. I liked the story more, the only bad thing right now is waiting for the 3rd book to come out, which is in like 2012 >:
