02.06.18 | Counting all of Sanderson's cosmere works together they're my favorite. Other faves are The Wheel of Time, Lord of the Rings, Malazan Book of the Fallen, Kingkiller Chronicle, and the Gentlemen Bastards. |

02.06.18 | kingkiller series by patrick rothfuss is better than all this |
theBoneyKing
02.06.18 | Kinda tough to compare Kingkiller since it's as yet-unfinished. Rothfuss better get off his ass and do some goddamn writing. |
hal1ax
02.06.18 | lol true.. but name of the wind and wise man's fear are like my two fav fantasy books so my expectations for doors of stone are high af. and yea man rothfuss is moving at a glacial pace and i have no idea why. he churned out book 2 relatively quickly. feel like they've been editing for like 2 years.. |

02.06.18 | The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant - Stephen R. Donaldson |
ktjammin
02.06.18 | The first Earthsea trilogy by Ursula K. Le Guin is excellent. |

bgillesp
02.06.18 | Bartimaeus series by Stroud |
TheCharmingMan
02.06.18 | Narnia bitches
jk i keep trying to get into the Wheel of Time but all the local stores have every volume except for the first one. Is it okay if I start with the prequels or should they be read in the order they were published? |

02.06.18 | The Dark Library's Horus Heresy novels are always an enjoyable read. |
loulou
02.06.18 | No you really must begin with the first book of the wheel of time. |
DinosaurJones
02.06.18 | The Dresden Files
Also I'm working my way through the Stormlight Archive again so I can read the 3rd book. |
Piglet
02.06.18 | These are all great. I've even written my own fantasy book half inspired by Dune, editing a lot of it now.
Rothfuss is weird one for me because I genuinely enjoy his style and it's a bloody page turner, but I also cringe at all the wish-fulfillment bullshit |

02.06.18 | Easily LoTR |
Davil667
02.06.18 | So many great ones already mentioned here... LotR, Discworld, Thomas Covenant, Bartimaeus Trilogy are all amazing. Here some of my additional favs:

02.06.18 | 3 and 4. As far as high fantasy goes, Sanderson's Cosmere has become all I need and all I ever longed for in that regard |
theBoneyKing
02.06.18 | Yeah the cosmere is pretty much the pinnacle of epic high fantasy. |
Rik VII
02.06.18 | Let's see how it will turn out once it turns into sci-fi 20-30 years from now, haha |
DungeonBoy
02.06.18 | No Raymond Feist for y'all? |
Piglet
02.06.18 | Raymond Feist is a good shout, Magician was one of my favourite books. Classic. |
DungeonBoy
02.06.18 | Magician is certainly a classic. There is a user on this site somewhere named Milamber but I haven't seen him in a while |
GUNGFUHAMMERFIST
03.10.18 | dragonlance |
CugnoBrasso
03.10.18 | 50 shades and an erotic lego movie fan-fiction I just found. |
