Recommend me fantasy books!

The Farseer trilogy and then skip to The Tawny Men trilogy. Robin Hobb. 6 books as one nice and rounded up series.

You can also look up EarthSea, or maybe Colour of magic and sequels.

Lusty Argonian Maid
best fantasy book ever! 10/10 would fap read again

Check out The Warded Man (or Painted Man) from Peter Brett !

The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.

Ahh, love the Gentleman Bastard series and Stormlight Archives.

Anyways, my favorite books of all time: The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. 10/10. They're urban fantasy novels about a Wizard named Harry Dresden. I can't do the books justice so you should look into it if that interests you. The audiobooks are fantastic, James Marsters is very good at narrating them. There are 15 books right now in the main series, and a lot of short stories.

Ooooo yeahs Dresden like they said try constantine too if you like antiheros

and I like the books by Kylie Chan http://kyliechan.com/

First, repeating the awesomeness already mentioned which you CANNOT MISS:
Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles, Wheel of Time, Dresden.

Then also:
Mistborn
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
Little, Big
Lud in the Mist

I think I'm too tired, because I'm sure there must be 20 more which you absolutely need to read. My head isn't working. Maybe I'll post more later :)

Edit: Narnia goes without saying, right? Surely Narnia goes without saying :D

Insert joke about the Bible. ;)
Bump :D

Since you mentioned liking A Song of Ice and Fire, have you read A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms yet? It's sort of a prequel, pretty much the same writing style except way shorter. I actually really really loved it. It was nice to revisit Westeros and while I actually enjoyed how huge the main books were I won't say that the brevity of this one wasn't a welcome change of pace after everything took ages to happen in ADWD.

The only other fantasy series I've ever even started was Discworld which I'm reading now and loving, but nothing else so can't recommend much more, sorry. Am more into scifi :(

My list is all oldies, but they're goodies too!

Jack Vance: Dying Earth series, Lyonesse series
Fritz Leiber: Fafhrd and Grey Mouser series
Michael Moorcock: Elric series, Hawkmoon series, Corum series
Robert E Howard: Conan series

Dune.

Seminal fantasy with a splash of sci-fi, bursting at the seams with courtly intrigue.

I don't have much to add besides what has already been mentioned, but I'd suggest reading any Neil Gaiman (whatever takes your fancy really, all of his books are brilliant imo) if you haven't already. :)

Basically anything by Ursula Le Guin (although there's a large portion of sci-fi there as well).

Rubs hands together gleefully I love recommending fantasy and/or SF authors,especially when tastes are similar.Here's a few not named yet:

Glen Cook, especially The Black Company (First book written 1984, first trilogy is essential)

Lord Dunsaney: The King of Elfland's Daughter (1924)

Markus Heitz:The Dwarves series (Die Zwerge in the original German, last book hasn't been translated to English yet unfortunately, first book 2003)

James Enge: A Guile of Dragons series (2012)

Sir Thomas Mallory:Le Morte d'Arthur: Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Legends of the Round Table (Sometime in the 15th century, apparently. The definitive telling of the Arthurian legend)

Guy Gavriel Kay:The Lions of Al-Rassan (2005)

That should tide you over for now!

I am hoping the reason no one has suggested JRR Tolkien's oeuvre yet is because everyone assumes you've read them. Have you? Read them?

Just a quick question: Is there a way to get notifications if this/a thread is added to? I also love reading this type of book and am always looking for suggestions to make my "to read" stack even more unobtainable. Thanks

Symphony of Ages by Elizabeth Haydon was utterly FANTASTIC. And now I see I missed 3 books from it.
The Tears of Artamon by Sarah Ash was amazing as well.
The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett was funny as hell. I still have a few to read. And to this day, that series owns the title of the ONLY book that even I had to give up trying to figure out where the story was going when the 4 horsemen ride out not to destroy the world, but to save it while an 800 year old monk is outside time having a civilized discussion with the worlds milkman who is also the 5th horseman. All while deaths granddaughter is trying to stop an alien invasion whole fatal weakness was chocolate. I give up. >_<

SO many great titles.

There's an endless number of Forgotten Realms novels.

I really liked War of the Spiderqueen which includes 6 books by 6 different authors (overseen by R.A.Salvatore) and tells the story about the drow and their deity they worship Lolth.

And The Dark Elf Trilogy about Drizzt Do'Urden and their followups. Though I got distracted by too many other things somewhere after book 9 and apparently there are now over 25books... oO

Edit: Oh and I really loved The Passage and it's followup The Twelve though I still have to get back to the third book released last year.
Those are about a (post-)apocayptic world overrun by vampire-like beings and a special girl trying to save the surviving humans left.

I'm a big fan of Cristopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle (Eragon, Eldest, Brinsingr and Inheritance).

I read a book a long time ago called Grimpow, but I don't think it's been translated to english. I liked it although I don't remember much. It's by a spanish author, so in case you know spanish...

I also have a book from David and Leigh Eddings, although I haven't read them yet, I've heard David Eddings is an acclaimed fantasy author. Can't vouch for how good the books are personally but worth checking out maybe.

There's also Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon, I found it a quite entertaining telling of arthurian legend (although, as mentioned above, Mallory's telling of it is the ultimate compilation of Arthurian tales, I find that book quite boring to read through since it's literally centuries old)

And I always recommend H.P. Lovecraft, although he veers closer to horror than fantasy per se.

Oh and M.A. Larson's book about princesses is fun. It's for children but I liked it. Pennyroyal Academy I think the first one is called.

I recommend you His Dark Materials series.

Just started reading it but patrick rothfuss'es kingkiller series is pretty good

also thank everyobody for making my amazon wishlist even bigger

Lots of great stuff out there, so little time, tnx for the GA.
