Lord of the Rings

#1
What more is there to say? It's slow in parts, admittedly, but every fantasy series since has had to contend with being compared to it, for better or worse.

Discworld by Terry Pratchett

#5
Amazingly funny and readable again and again... If you never read a Discworld novel, give "Mort" a try - it is also available as a comic.

Song Of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin

The absolute best Fantasy Series I have ever read. Even better than Tolkien and Jordan who I loved also.
 

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

Ive never read Narnia so I cant vote for that. I really did love these books & its such a strange place.
 

Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever

#11
Tolkienesque, but darker. Excellent books, have read the trilogy three times over the years. Here's an intro:

Thomas Covenant is a leper, a bitter and solitary pariah whose family and community cast him out in fear of his loathsome disease. He is mystically transported to another Earth in which time moves differently than in ours, one in which magic takes many forms. The Land is threatened by evils, the most immediate of which is a maddened Cavewight whose subterrene excavations unearthed the ancient and puissant Staff of Law. More dangerous to the free people of the Land is the Gray Slayer, Lord Foul the Despiser, who intends to destroy the actual foundations of the Earth to wage war against the universe's Creator.

The Earthsea Chronicles

by Ursula K. Le Guin... the books are very intriguing... and if you've never seen the made-for-tv travesty based on the books, count yourself lucky...

Deathgate Cycle should be Death Gate Cycle.
Sorry about that everyone.
