After Harry Potter...

Since the 7th book came out (actually, the whole time I was waiting for the 6th and 7th book) I coulnd't find anything good to read. I'll read any type of book but I always seemed to be more into fantasy. So I tried Robert Jordan, the wheel of time series and couldn't get past Chapter 2 but I just came back from the library and decided to give him another shot. If I can remember correctly, the reason why I couldn't get past Chapter 2 was, well....I hate reading 20 pages on someone's clothes, armor, the castle, the house, their hair, with either no dialogue at all or there's one or two sentences. It seems like every fantasy book I pick is like this and it really makes me miss JK Rowling and her style. Another book I really enjoyed was Ender's Game (just trying to give you guys an idea of what I like). So does anyone have any recommendations for me? It doesn't have to be fantasy, it could be non-fiction, mystery (another type of genre I really like), anything. I miss when I had a good book to read or looked forward to reading.
 
Not sure if I can edit my post or not, I couldn't find an edit button so sorry for the double posting. I went ahead and read some of The Eye of the World and ended up enjoying it, guess I should have made this afterwards ^^; When I first read this book I was younger and couldn't understand what was going on. However, I would still like some other fantasy recommendations along with some other genre's. So any help would be appreciated ^^
 
I was really into Anne McCaffrey when I was in high school. My friend loved that series so I decided to try it out but for some reason I never finished it, got to book 2 or 3 and just kind of stopped. I tried reading it again later on and couldn't find the urge. I think I had a tendency to put a lot of books down because they weren't like harry potter and that's just a great series to me. So I'll definitely try out that series again, I'm still kind of iffy about Robert Jordan but I'm a lot more open minded about it now and I'm enjoying it a little better. I think there's still too much description on things I could care less about but at least I'm not bored to death like before lol.
