The Earthsea Trilogy - Ursula LeGuin (fantasy)
Oryx & Crake - Margaret Atwood (dystopian sci-fi)
Jonathon Strange & Mr Norrell (fantasy, can be a bit difficult to get into)
Gormenghast series - Mervyn Peake (fantasy, good if you like GoT)
Perdido Street Station - China Mieville (fantasy, another rec for people who like GoT)

Monster Blood Tattoo series - D.M. Cornish (YA fantasy, INCREDIBLE worldbuilding, but like JS&MN can be a bit difficult to get into)
Obernewtyn - Isobelle Carmody(YA, dystopian sci-fi, cool X-men mind powers)
The Mortal Engines series - Phillip Reeve. (YA, dystopian steampunk-ish?)
The Edge Chronicles - Paul Stewart (YA, fantasy, more awesome worldbuilding, with illustrations by Chris Riddell)

LeGuin, Atwood, and Mieville count as "lesser-known" these days?! I remember when they were the go-to's who you'd recommend in "fantasy for people who usually don't read fantasy." I feel old.

Yeah, well, most of the people I know who read fantasy haven't read any of those authors. It makes me sad. :(

(Then again, they grew up with video games and anime, and I grew up with books, so maybe we just got exposed to different things?)

I think they're still pretty well-known if you're into non-epic fantasy.

The question is how many people are into non-epic fantasy.

Seconding Mnster Blood Tattoo and the Edge Chronicles. Very, very original.
