Well, I will have to include some sci-fi in my list.
I don't really have any particular ranking of favorites, since I like these all fairly well.
LotR
Pern
Foundation
Belgariad
The Well World
Rings of the Master
Dune
Hitchhiker

LOTR (incl. Sil and Hobbit. the so-called LOTR "trilogy" alone counts as ONE BOOK.)
Duncton Chronicles (I'm not sure if I'll count the second trilogy, because it isn't that great)
Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Oz
The Dark is Rising

Hmm...

LotR/Hobbit/Sil.
Riftwar
Dune
Shannara
Harry Potter

I usually like Fantasy over Sci Fiction but it depends on the author. Some favorites are...
Tolkien (of course)
Asimov
P Morrison (Keltiad)
D Eddings
A McCaffery
R Jordan
T Williams
T Goodkind
Lovecraft
C Barker
And have to say that anything with Michael Whelan art will attract my attention! LOL

These just name a few of the books I read repeatedly

I have to admit that 2 series are my all time Favorite.

LOTR (Including the enchanting prelude "The Hobbit", although I havent finished The Two Towers yet)

The Chronicles of Narnia. (If you read this one read book 2 first!!)

"The Hobbit" By Tolkien
"The Lord of the Rings" By Tolkien
"The Tales of Narnia" By Lewis
"The Dune Series" (the first few books, anyway) By Herbert
"The Space Trilogy" By Lewis
"The Wheel of Time" (again, the first few books)

David

I, personally, am a HUGE fan of The Dragonriders of Pern, by Anne McCaffrey. Arguably the best scifi books, IMNSHO.

Yes, I think those are good, too. The evolution of the Pern story is sorta neat in itself, especially "All the Weryrs of Pern". I like the irony of the situation presented in that one, but I won't spoil it just yet for anyone who may not have read it yet.

BTW, Taimar, since you like Williams' stuff, have you read "Tailchaser's Song"?

Have a nice day

Hey, I own a copy of Tailchaser's Song but never got around to reading it. Is it any good? I've read his other stuff, including MS&T and the first two Otherland books.

LOTR is on the top of my list. Some of the others are:

Wheel of Time (Jordan)
Song of Fire and Ice (Martin) - this is dark and early in the series, but his writing is amazing
DragonWorld (Priess/Reaves) - for "younger" readers
Cycle of Fire (Wurts)
Chronicles of Narnia (Lewis)

Can someone explain to me what is up with this "wheel of time" series? I keep hearing a bunch of people raving about it but haven't gotten around to picking it up since I've been engrossed in rereading Dune lately.

hmm...

To list the favorite Fantasy Series....

Ok

LOTR(Hobbit and Sil included)
Dragonlance(when Weiss and Hickman authored)
Rose of the Prophet
Deathgate Cycle
Xanth(don't laugh, I enjoyed them)
Narnia
Dragonriders of Pern

to name a few.

Well... I haven't really read many LoTR-style fantasy books...

1. LoTR
2. The Hobbit
3. The Silmarillion
4. The Dark is Rising (the book) & Silver on the Tree
5. the rest of the pentalogy

Hmmm, mine would have to be:

1.Riftwar
2.Empire Trilogy
3.Riftwar Legacy
4.Serpentwar
