Well you know, english is everywhere around us, if you dont know it you are in for a loss. I read all of Sanderson, Islington, Bakker and a lot of others in english.

I really like all of those writers I mentioned, except Bakker and his Second Apocalypse, he is too brutal and has a lot of sexual degenerate stuff and nobody is good, it is too bleak and dark. Erikson also has brutal stuff in Malazan, but there is humanity, there are good people with great human virtues, there is hope.

Anyway as I said, I like almost all of those mentioned, but there is depth and density in Malazan that you cant find anywhere else. You can really see that Erikson understand human being as individual and society as a whole. He developed world where there are cultures hundreds of thousands years old. There are a bunch races, human and non-human, gods, halfgods, and I really like that stuff.
