The Greatest Fantasy Books of All Time

Well we have a pretty good movie list but what about a good read? Some of my favorites and a brief description of the book (or series)

Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan. Great books 1-6 but the plot kept expanding and after book 7 things just never came together again - and then the author died before he finished the last book.

Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin. Medieval political thriller. Amazing character development, and unpredictable plot lines. No one is safe. Compared to the first three books, four is a bit of a dud.

Magician - Raymond E Feist - Interesting plot. A great quick read.

Assasin - Robin Hobb - More great characters. The books have a sense of moodiness and irony that is missing in most fantasy books.

The Lions of Al-Rassan - Guy Gavriel Kay - loosly based on medieval Spain. Starts r e a l l y slow but builds steam to a great finale if you can stick with it.

A few other come to mind that I am leaving out intentionally:

Lord of the Rings/Hobbit - epic in every sense but painful to read. I have an easier time of it now then I used to but still, you can tell Tolkien was a linguist.

DragonLance Chronicles - used to be my favorite but doesn't age well. The legends series is the only series I still consider readable (and actually quite good). Most dragonlance books are trash.

In fact most D&D books suck. Drizzt used to be entertaining when he was still somewhat novel but after 20 years the whole moody self examining thing has gotten very old.

I'm sure I'm missing some. Suggestions?
